A resistance wire connected in the left gap of a metre bridge balances a resistance in the right gap at a point which divides the bridge wire in the ratio If the length of the resistance wire is m, then the length of of the resistance wire is:
m
m
m
m
To solve this problem, we will use the principle of a metre bridge (or Wheatstone bridge).Given:• Resistance in the right gap • The bridge wire is divided in the ratio Let the resistance in the left gap be The balance condition for a metre bridge is given by:Where and are the lengths of the bridge wire on the left and right sides, respectively.Given that the ratio we can write:Solving for The resistance wire has a total length of m.We need to find the length of the wire that corresponds to The resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length.Let be the length of wire that corresponds to Then, we can write:Solving for mTherefore, the length of of the resistance wire is m.This corresponds to Option 1.
