Question : 17
Total: 26
(a) Write the principle of working of a metre bridge.
(b) In a metre bridge, the balance point is found at a distancel 1 with resistances R and S as shown in the figure.
An unknown resistanceX is now connected in parallel to the resistance S and the balance point is found at a distance l 2 . Obtain a formula for X in terms of l 1 , l 2 and S .
(b) In a metre bridge, the balance point is found at a distance
An unknown resistance
Solution:
(a) Principle of meter bridge
(b) Relation betweenl 1 , l 2 and S
(a) The principle of working of a meter bridge is same as that of a balanced Wheatstone bridge.
(Alternatively:
When,i g = 0 , then
=
(ii)
=
WhenX is connected in parallel
=
On solving, we get
X =
