Verified by Experts

If the wire is connected to the
potentiometer wire so that
` R_AD/R_DB = 8/12 `
then according to Whitstone's bridge, no
currrent will flow through galvano meter.
` R_AD/R_DB = L_AD/L_DB = 8/12 = 2/3 `
(Acc.to principle of potentio meter)
` L_DB+L_DB = 40 cm `
` rArr L_B 2/3 + L_DB = 40 cm `
` rArr 5/3 L_DB = 40 cm `
` rArr L_DB = 40 xx 5/3 `
= 24 cm from B.
