Question

Two dimetrically opposite points of a metal ring are connected to two terminals of the left gap of metrebridge. The resistance of 11 Ω is connected in right gap. If null point is obtained at a distance of 45 cm from the left end, find the resistance of metal ring.

Let 2R be the resistance of the metal ring. As the diametrically opposite points are connected in the left gap.
The resistance of each half is R and these two halves are connected in parallel.
Thus resistance in left gap =(R+R)(R×R)=2RR2=2RΩ
Resistance in right gap =11Ω
l=45 cm and 100−l=100−45=55 cm
For balanced meter bridge
Resistance in the right gapResistance in the left gap=100−ll
11R/2=5545
2R=545=9
∴R=18Ω
Now resistance of ring =2R=2×18=36 Ω
