A resistance wire connected in a meter bridge’s left gap balances 10 ohm resistance in right gap, dividing the bridge wire by 3:2. Assuming length of resistance wire 1.5m, determine length of 1 ohm of the resistance wire?

Meter bridge is often also known as a slide wire bridge, which is an instrument that operates on the principle of the Wheatstone bridge. A meter bridge is used in determining a conductor’s unknown resistance as that of a Wheatstone Bridge.

Solution

As per the given question,
The bridge wire is divided in the ratio, R:S = 3:2
And, S = 10Ω

Thus, the ratio can also be depicted as,

⇒ \({{R} \over S} = {{3} \over 2}\)

Hence, R = \({{3} \over 2}\) \(\times\) 10Ω = 5

Thus, the length of 1 Ω wire according to the condition given above can be represented as,

⇒ l = \({{1.5} \over 1.5}\)

⇒ l = \({{1} \over 10}\)

= 0.1 m 

= 1.0 \(\times\) 10-1m

Thus, the length of the wire by the given condition is 1.0 x 10-1m.

It is used to see distant objects which are not seen clearly with naked eyes. The image formed by the objective lens acts as an object for the eyepiece and the final image produced by the eyepiece is magnified.

                    A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.
