Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 742

Question: In a meter bridge, the balancing length from the left end (standard resistance of one ohm is in the right gap) is found to be 20 cm. The value of the unknown resistance is

Options:

A) $ 0.8\Omega $

B) $ 0.5\Omega $

C) $ 0.4\Omega $

D) $ 0.25\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

[d] $ \frac{P}{Q}=\frac{l}{( 100-l )} $

$ \text{or }P=\frac{l}{100-l}\times Q=\frac{20}{80}\times I=0.25\Omega . $
