Question 277 of 380
In a meter bridge experiment to determine the value of unknown resistance, first the resistances and are connected in the left and right gaps of the bridge and the null point is obtained at a distance from the left. Now when an unknown resistance is connected in parallel to resistance, the null point is shifted by 10 cm to the right of wire. The value of unknown resistance is .
Show answer and solution
Answer: 6
Meter bridge null point condition:
Initial: , , null at cm
gives , so cm
When connected in parallel with :
New null point at cm from left:
gives
Initial: , , null at cm
gives , so cm
When connected in parallel with :
New null point at cm from left:
gives
