An unknown resistance wire in the left gap of a meter bridge...
An unknown resistance wire in the left gap of a meter bridge balances a resistance in the right gap at a point that divides the bridge wire in a ratio . If the length of this unknown resistance wire is , what is its resistance per unit length? (Bridge wire is uniform)
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Let the unknown resistance in the left gap be and the resistance in the right gap be .
At the balance point of the meter bridge, the ratio of resistances is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the bridge wire segments:
Given that the balance point divides the bridge wire in the ratio , we have:
The length of the unknown resistance wire is .
The resistance per unit length of the wire is:
