Question:

In a meter bridge with a standard resistance of 15 Ω in the right gap, the ratio of balancing length is 3:2. What is the value of the other resistance?

Options:

25 Ω

15 Ω

15.7 Ω

22.5 Ω

Correct Answer:

22.5 Ω

Explanation:

$\text{In balanced meter bridge} \frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{l_2}{l_1}$

$\Rightarrow R_2 = \frac{l_2\times R_1}{l_1} = \frac{3\times 15}{2}\Omega = 22.5\Omega$
