Practicing Success
A meter bridge is set-up as shown, to determine an unknown resistance X using a standard 10Ω resistor. The galvanometer shows null point when tapping key is at 52 cm mark. The end corrections are 1 cm and 2 cm respectively for the ends A and B. The determined value of X is: |
10.2Ω 10.6Ω 10.8Ω 11.1Ω |
10.6Ω |
Applying the condition of balanced Wheatstone bridge, we get $\frac{X}{10 \Omega}=\frac{(52+1) ~cm}{(100-52+2) ~cm}=\frac{53}{50}$ X = 10Ω × $\frac{53}{50}$ = 10.6 Ω |
