In a meter-bridge if the left and right gaps are connected with \(2 \Omega\) and \(3 \Omega\) resistances, respectively then the bridge is balanced. The resistance to be connected with \(3 \Omega\) resistance to get the balancing point at midpoint of the bridge wire is

  1. A \(3 \Omega\) in series
  2. B \(3 \Omega\) in parallel
  3. C \(6 \Omega\) in series
  4. D \(6 \Omega\) in parallel
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6 \Omega\) in parallel

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Key Idea In a meter-bridge, if the balancing point is at the midpoint of the bridge wire, then it shows the resistance gaps have equal resistance. Given, \(\begin{aligned} & R_1=2 \Omega \\ & R_2=3 \Omega \end{aligned}\) and \(R_2=3 \Omega\) For meter-bridge,…
