In meter bridge experiment, null point was obtained at a distance ' \(l\) ' from left end. The values of resistances in the left and right gap are doubled and then interchanged. The new position of the null point is

  1. A \((100-l)\)
  2. B \((100-2 l)\)
  3. C \((100-3 l)\)
  4. D \(\left(100-\frac{l}{2}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \((100-l)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \text { For a Metre bridge, } \\
& \frac{\mathrm{X}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{l_{\mathrm{X}}}{l_{\mathrm{R}}}
\end{aligned}\)
After doubling and interchanging the left and right gap resistances, the ratio of the resistances do not change.
This means the null point does not change.
\(\therefore\) The new position will remain at \((100-l)\).
