In a balanced meter bridge, the segment of wire opposite to a known resistance of \(70 \Omega\) is \(70 \mathrm{~cm}\). The unknown resistance is

  1. A \(30 \Omega\)
  2. B \(60 \Omega\)
  3. C \(90 \Omega\)
  4. D \(15 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(30 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In balanced meter bridge known resistance, \(S=70 \Omega, l=70 \mathrm{~cm}\) \(\therefore\) Unknown resistance, \(R=S\left(\frac{100-l}{l}\right)=\frac{70(100-70)}{70}=30 \Omega\)
