In a metre-bridge,when a resistance in the left gap is $2 \ \Omega$ and an unknown resistance is in the right gap,the balance length is found to be $40 \ cm$. On shunting the unknown resistance with $2 \ \Omega$,the balance length changes by: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $22.5$
  • B
    $20$
  • C
    $62.5$
  • D
    $65$

Two resistances are connected in the two gaps of a meter bridge. The balancing point is obtained at $20 \ cm$. When a resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller resistance of the two,the balancing point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The value of the smaller resistance is (in $\Omega$)

In a meter bridge or Wheatstone bridge for the measurement of resistance,the known and the unknown resistances are interchanged. The error so removed is

$A$ meter bridge is set up as shown,to determine an unknown resistance '$X$' using a standard $10 \ \Omega$ resistor. The galvanometer shows a null point when the tapping key is at the $52 \ cm$ mark. The end corrections are $1 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$ respectively for the ends $A$ and $B$. The determined value of '$X$' is (in $\Omega$)

In the meter bridge shown,the resistance $X$ has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. Neglecting the variation in other resistors,when current is passed for some time in the circuit,the balance point should shift towards:

The resistance in the left and right gaps of a meter bridge are $10 \Omega$ and $30 \Omega$ respectively. If the bridge is balanced,then the distance of the null point from the center of the wire is (in $cm$)
