To solve the problem step by step, we will use the principles of a meter bridge and the concept of shunting resistances. ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Condition In the initial condition, the null point is at 20 cm on the meter bridge. This means that the ratio of the known resistance \( R \) to the unknown resistance \( X \) can be expressed as: \[ \frac{R}{X} = \frac{L_1}{100 - L_1} \] where \( L_1 = 20 \, \text{cm} \). ...
