In the meter bridge experiment, the length $AB$ of the wire is $1 \, m$. The resistors $X$ and $Y$ have values $5 \, \Omega$ and $2 \, \Omega$ respectively. When a shunt resistance $S$ is connected in parallel to $X$, the balancing point is found to be $0.625 \, m$ from $A$. Then, the resistance of the shunt $S$ is

  • A
    $5 \, \Omega$
  • B
    $10 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $7.5 \, \Omega$
  • D
    $12.5 \, \Omega$

During an experiment with a meter bridge,the galvanometer shows a null point when the jockey is pressed at $40.0 \ cm$ using a standard resistance of $90 \ \Omega$,as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the meter bridge is $1 \ mm$. The unknown resistance is:

In a meter bridge,as shown in the figure,it is given that resistance $Y = 12.5 \, \Omega$ and the balance point is obtained at a distance $l_1 = 39.5 \, cm$ from end $A$ (by jockey $J$). After interchanging the resistances $X$ and $Y$,a new balance point is found at a distance $l_2$ from end $A$. What are the values of $X$ and $l_2$?

In a meter bridge,a $30 \Omega$ resistance is connected in the left gap and a pair of resistances $P$ and $Q$ in the right gap. Measured from the left,the balance point is $37.5 \text{ cm}$ when $P$ and $Q$ are in series,and $71.4 \text{ cm}$ when they are in parallel. The values of $P$ and $Q$ (in $\Omega$) are:

In a meter bridge experiment,the balance point is obtained if the gaps are closed by $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistors. $A$ shunt of $X \Omega$ is added to the $3 \Omega$ resistor to shift the null point by $22.5 \text{ cm}$. The value of $X$ is: (in $\Omega$)
