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

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.

Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
Two capacitors, one of $3 \ \mu$F and the other of $6 \ \mu$F, are connected in series in the circuit as shown in the figure, for a long time. }
