Question

In an ideal metre-bridge, the balancing length from the left end when standard resistance of 1Ω is in right gap is found to be 20 cm. The value of unknown resistance (in Ω) is

Moderate
Solution

 Let unknown resistance be X . Then condition of   Wheatstone's bridge gives XR=20r80r, where r is   resistance of wire per cm . 

 X=2080×R=14×1=0.25Ω
