  • question_answer
    In a meter bridge, the balancing length from the left end (standard resistance of 1 ohm m the gap) is found to be 20 cm. The value of the unknown resistance will be.

    A)  \[0.25\,\Omega \]

    B)  \[0.4\,\Omega \]

    C)  \[0.5\,\Omega \]

    D)  \[0.8\,\Omega \]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Here: Standard resistance of the wire \[=1\,\Omega \] Length of the wire from the left end \[l=20\text{ }cm\] The value of unknown resistance is given by \[R=\left( \frac{l}{100-l} \right)\times S\] \[=\frac{20}{100-20}\times 1=\frac{20}{80}\] \[=0.25\,\Omega \]
