When the two known resistances $R$ and $S$ are connected in the left and right gaps of a meter bridge respectively,the null point is found at a distance $l_1$ from the zero end of the meter bridge wire. An unknown resistance $X$ is now connected in parallel with $S$,and the null point is found at a distance $l_2$ from the zero end of the meter bridge wire. The unknown resistance $X$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{S l_1(100-l_2)}{100(l_2-l_1)}$
  • B
    $\frac{S l_2(100-l_1)}{100(l_1-l_2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{100(l_2-l_1)}{S l_1(100-l_2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{100(l_2-l_1)}{S l_2(100-l_1)}$

In a meter-bridge,if the left and right gaps are connected with $2 \Omega$ and $3 \Omega$ resistances,respectively,then the bridge is balanced. What resistance should be connected with the $3 \Omega$ resistance to get the balancing point at the midpoint of the bridge wire?

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 (in $\Omega$)
