Current Electricity 4 Question 18

18. A resistance of 2Ω is connected across one gap of a meter-bridge (the length of the wire is 100cm ) and an unknown resistance, greater than 2Ω, is connected across the other gap. When these resistances are interchanged, the

balance point shifts by 20cm. Neglecting any corrections, the unknown resistance is

(2007, 3M)

(a) 3Ω

(b) 4Ω

(c) 5Ω

(d) 6Ω

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. R>2Ω⇒∴100x>x

Applying, PQ=RS

We have 2R=x100x

R2=x+2080x

Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get, R=3Ω

Correct option is (a).
