Wheatstone Bridge & Metre Bridge

In meter bridge experiment, null point was obtained at a distance 'll' from left end. The values of resistances in the left and right gap are doubled and then interchanged. The new position of the null point is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Initially R1R2=l100−l\dfrac{R_1}{R_2} = \dfrac{l}{100 - l}
  2. New: left 2R22R_2, right 2R12R_1: l′100−l′=R2R1=100−ll\dfrac{l'}{100 - l'} = \dfrac{R_2}{R_1} = \dfrac{100 - l}{l}
  3. l′=100−ll' = 100 - l
  4. So the answer is (a) (100−l)(100 - l).
