When a known standard resistor of 2\(\Omega\) is connected to the 0.0cm end of a meter bridge, the balance point is found to be at 55.0cm. What is the value of the unknown resistor?

  • A. 1.10\(\Omega\)
  • B. 1.64\(\Omega\)
  • C. 2.44\(\Omega\)
  • D. 27.50\(\Omega\)

Correct Answer: B. 1.64\(\Omega\)

Explanation

\(\frac{R_1}{R_2}\) = \(\frac{L_1}{R_2}\)

\(\frac{2}{R_2}\) = \(\frac{55}{45}\)

R = 1.64\(\Omega\)
