Q109 / 180 · NEET 2020 (Phase 1) · Physics

A resistance wire connected in the left gap of a metre bridge balances a 10 Ω resistance in the right gap at a point which divides the bridge wire in the ratio 3:2. If the length of the resistance wire is 1.5 m, then the length of 1 Ω of the resistance wire is:

  • Correct answer
    A
    1.0×10−1 m
  • B
    1.5×10−1 m
  • C
    1.5×10−2 m
  • D
    1.0×10−2 m

Solution

Figure

R10=l1l2

R10=32

R=15 Ω

Length of 15Ω resistance wire is 1.5 m

∴ length of 1Ω resistance wire =1.515=0.1

=1.0×10−1 m

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
