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
    End correction
  • B
    Index error
  • C
    Due to temperature effect

An unknown resistance $R_1$ is connected in series with a resistance of $10 \,\Omega$. This combination is connected to one gap of a meter bridge while a resistance $R_2$ is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at $50 \, cm$. Now,when the $10 \,\Omega$ resistance is removed,the balance point shifts to $40 \, cm$. The value of $R_1$ is (in $\Omega$):

Consider a $72\, cm$ long wire $AB$ as shown in the figure. The galvanometer jockey is placed at $P$ on $AB$ at a distance $x\, cm$ from $A$. The galvanometer shows zero deflection. The value of $x$,to the nearest integer,is ..... $cm$.

The unknown resistances are connected in two gaps of a metre bridge. The null point is at $20 \ cm$ from the zero end. $A$ resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is connected in series with the smaller of the two. The null point shifts to $40 \ cm$. The smaller resistance is (in $\Omega$)

In the figure shown,for given values of $R_1$ and $R_2$,the balance point for the jockey is at $40\,cm$ from $A$. When $R_2$ is shunted by a resistance of $10\, \Omega$,the balance point shifts to $50\,cm$. Find $R_1$ and $R_2$. $(AB = 1\,m)$

$A$ resistance of $2 \Omega$ is connected across one gap of a metre-bridge (the length of the wire is $100 \text{ cm}$) and an unknown resistance,greater than $2 \Omega$,is connected across the other gap. When these resistances are interchanged,the balance point shifts by $20 \text{ cm}$. Neglecting any corrections,the unknown resistance is (in $\Omega$)
