In a metre bridge experiment null point is obtained at 40 ~cm from one end of the wire when resistance X is balanced against another resistance Y . If X < Y , then the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of 3 X against Y , will be close to :
Options
- A80 ~cm
- B75 ~cm
- C67 ~cm
- D50 ~cm
Correct answer
C. 67 ~cm
Step-by-step solution
From question, x y = 40 100-40 = 2 3 x = 2 3 y Again, 3 x y = Z 100-Z or 3 2 y 3 y = Z 100-Z Solving we get Z =67 ~cm Therefore new position of null point 67 ~cm
