10. (a) In a metre bridge figure, the balance point is found to be at 39.

9.5 cm from the end A, when the resistor Y

is of 12.5 . Determine the resistance of X. Why are the connections between resistors in a Wheatstone or
meter bridge made of thick copper strips?
(b) Determine the balance point of the bridge above if X and Y are interchanged.
(c) What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge? Would the
galvanometer show any current?

A meter bridge. Wire AC is 1 m long. R is a resistance to be measured and

S is a standard resistance.

11. A storage battery of emf 8.0 V and internal resistance 0.5 is being charged by a 120 V dc supply using a
series resistor of 15.5 . What is the terminal voltage of the battery during charging? What is the purpose of
having a series resistor in the charging circuit?

12. In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf 1.25 V gives a balance point at 35.0 cm length of the wire. If the
cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to 63.0 cm, what is the emf of the second cell?
