In a meter bridge experiment, two resistor 2\(\Omega\) and 3\(\Omega\) occupy the left and right gaps respectively. Find the balance point from the left side of the bridge
- A. 20cm
- B. 40cm
- C. 60cm
- D. 80cm
Correct Answer: B. 40cm
Explanation
Let the point be x
\(\frac{2}{x}\) = \(\frac{3}{100 - x}\)
making x subject of formula,
2(100 - x) = 3x
200 - 2x = 3x
200 = 3x + 2x
200 = 5x
divide both side by 5
x = 40cm
