Q.

Figure shows a circuit that may be used to compare the resistance R of an unknown resistor with a 100  Ω standard. The distance  l from one end of the potentiometer slider wire to the balance point are 400 mm and 588 mm when X is connected to Y and Z, respectively. The length of the slide wire is 1.00 m. What is the value of resistance R?

Detailed Solution

When X is connected to Y, the balance length l  is proportional to the potential difference across the  resistor. When X is connected to Z, the balance length is proportional to the potential difference across the  resistor and resistor R. 

100+R100=588400  or  R=47  Ω
