Question

In a meter bridge experiment S is a standard resistance. R is a resistance wire. It is found that balancing length is l  = 25 cm . If ‘R’ is replaced by a wire of half length and same diameter that of R of same material. Then the balancing distance lin cm will now be 

 

Moderate
Solution

Initially,  SR=7525=3  Now, R=ρlA=4ρlπd2  R'=4ρl/2πd2=R2 Finally,  SR'=100ll SR/2=100ll 2SR=100ll 2×3=100ll l=1007=14.29 cm
