Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 211

Question: In an experiment of meter bridge, a null point is obtained at the centre of the bridge wire. When a resistance of 10 ohm is connected in one gap, the value of resistance in other gap is

[MP PET 1994]

Options:

A) $ 10,\Omega $

B) $ 5,\Omega $

C) $ \frac{1}{5}\Omega $

D) $ 500,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Wheatstone bridge is balanced,

Therefore $ \frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R}{S} $ or $ 1=\frac{10}{S} $

Therefore $ S=10,ohm $
