A resistance of `2 Omega` is connected across one gap of a meter bridge (the length of the wire is `100 cm` and an unknown resistance, greater than ` 2 Omega`, is connected across the other gap. When these resistance are interchanged, the balance point shifts by `20cm`. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is. (a)` 3 Omega` (b) `4 Omega` ( c) `5 Omega` (d) `6 Omega`.
Text Solution
Verified by Experts
The correct Answer is:
A
`R gt 2 Omega rArr :. 100 -x gtx` Applying `P/Q= R/S` We have `2/R=x/(100-x)` ….(i) `R/2= (x+20)/(80-x)` …(ii) Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get, `R = 3 Omega` `:.` Correct option is (a).
