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.

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.
