Q.

A wire of length 10 cm and radius 7×10-4 m connected across the right gap of a meter bridge. When a resistance of 4.5Ω is connected on the left gap by using a resistance box, the balance length is found to be at 60 cm from the left end. If the resistivity of the wire is R×10-7Ωm, then value of R is       [2024]

Ans.

(3)           

               For null point, 4.560=R'40

                 Also, R'=ρlA=ρlπr2

                 4.5×40=ρ×0.1π×7×10-8×60

                ρ=66×10-7Ω×m
