JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 1)

In a meter bridge experiment S is a standard resistance. R is a resistance wire. It is found that balancing length is $$l$$ = 25 cm. If R is replaced by a wire of half length and half diameter that of R of same material, then the balancing distance $$l'$$ (in cm) will now be________.

Answer
40

Explanation

$${S \over R} = {{75} \over {25}}$$ = 3

R = $${{\rho L} \over A}$$ = $${{4\rho L} \over {\pi {d^2}}}$$

R' = $${{4\rho \left( {{L \over 2}} \right)} \over {\pi {{\left( {{d \over 2}} \right)}^2}}}$$ = 2R

Then $${S \over {R'}} = {{100 - l} \over l}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{100 - l} \over l}$$ = $${S \over {2R}}$$ = $${3 \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$l$$ = 40 cm
