In a meter bridge experiment, resistance are connected as shown in figure, The balancing length 1, is 55 cm. Now an unknown resistance x is connected in series with P and new balancing length is found to be 75 cm. The value of x is

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
For the balance point of meter bridge.
Case - I, when balancing length is 55 cm

…(i)
Case - II When an unknown resistance x is involved

…(ii)
By putting the value of Q from equation (i) in equation (ii)
