Question
During an experiment with a metre bridge, the galvanometer shows a null point when the jockey is pressed at 40.0 cm using a standard resistance of 90 Ω, as shown in the figure. The least count of the scale used in the metre bridge is 1 mm. The unknown resistance is
Options
A.60 ± 0.15 Ω
B.135 ± 0.56 Ω
C.60 ± 0.25 Ω
D.135 ± 0.23 Ω
Solution
(Balanced Wheatstone)For R,
⇒ R = 
For ᐃR,
ln R = ln x + ln(100 - x)
ᐃR =
60ᐃR = 0.25 Ω
⇒ R = 60 ± 0.25 Ω
