In a metre bridge, two unknown resistances R and S, when connected in the two gaps, give a null point at 40 cm from one end. What is the ratio of Rand S?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`R/S = (l)/((100 - l)) = 40/60 = 2/3`

In a meter bridge, two unknown resistances R and S, when connected between the two gaps, gives a null point is 60 cm from one end. What is the ratio of R and S?

The figure shows experimental set up of a meter bridge. When the two unknown resistances X and Y are inserted, the null point D is obtained 40 cm from the end A. When a resistance of 10 Omega is connected in series with X, the null point shifts by 10 cm. Find the position of the null point when the 10 Omega resistance is instead connected in series with resistance 'Y'. Determine the value of the resistance X and Y
