A galvanometer of resistance 25 Ω shows a deflection of 5 divisions when a current of 2 mA is passed through it. If a shunt of 4 Ω is connected and there are 20 divisions on the scale, then the range of the galvanometer is

1 A
58 A
58 mA
30 mA

A meter bridge is set-up as shown, to determine an unknown resistance X using a standard 10 ohm resistor. The galvanometer shows null point when tapping-key is at 52 cm mark. The end-corrections are 1 cm and 2 cm respectively for the ends A and B. The determined value of

10.2 ohm

10.6 ohm

10.8 ohm

11.1 ohm

10.6 ohm

Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown component.

Applying the condition of balanced Wheatstone bridge,

we get

$\frac{X}{10 Ω} = \frac{(52 + 1) cm}{(48 + 2) cm}$

= $\frac{53}{50}$

X = 10 Ω × $\frac{53}{50}$

X = 10.6 Ω
