Two resistances of 10 and 15 2 are
connected in the left and right gaps of a meter
bridge. Determine the position of null point if
the resistance of 10 2 shunted by another
resistance of 10 Q value.
.35 O In Fig. 26-30, current is set up through a truncated right
circular cone of resistivity 731 n · m, left radius a = 2.00 mm, right
radius b = 2.30 mm, and length L = 1.94 cm. Assume that the cur-
rent density is uniform across any cross section taken perpendicu-
lar to the length. What is the resistance of the cone?
An unknown resistance X is connected
in the left gap and a known resistance R in the
right gap of the meter-bridge. The balance
point is obtained at 60 cm from the left end of
the wire. When R is increased by 2 2, the
balanced point shifts by 10 cm. Find X and R.
