A meter bridge is set-up as shown, to determine an unknown resistance ' $X$ ' using a standard $10$ ohm resistor. The galvanometer shows null point when tapping-key is at $52 \ cm$ mark. The end-corrections are $1 \ cm$ and $2 \ cm$ respectively for the ends $A$ and $B$. The determined value of ' $X$ ' is
A$10.2 \ ohm$
B$10.6 \ ohm$
C$10.8 \ ohm$
D$11.1 \ ohm$

B$10.6 \ ohm$
b Using the condition for balanced Wheatstone bridge, we get
$\frac{X}{10}=\frac{(52+1) cm }{(100-52+2) cm }=\frac{53}{50}$
or $X=\frac{53 \times 10}{50}=10.6 \ \Omega$

The current density in a cylindrical wire of radius $4 \; mm$ is $4 \times 10^{6} \; Am ^{-2}$. The current through the outer portion of the wire between radial distance $\frac{R}{2}$ and $R$ is $\dots \; \pi A .$
A generator has armature resistance of $0 .1\,\Omega $ and develops an induced emf of $120 \,V$ when driven at its rated speed. Its terminal voltage when a current of $50\,A$ is being drawn is ................. $V$
A conducting wire of length $ l$ area of cross-section $A$ and electric resistivity $\rho$ is connected between the terminals of a battery. $A$ potential difference $V$ is developed between its ends, causing an electric current.If the length of the wire of the same material is doubled and the area of cross-section is halved, the resultant current would be
Three $60\, W$ light bulbs are mistakenly wired in series and connected to a $120\,V$ power supply. Assume the light bulbs are rated for single connection to $120\,V$. With the mistaken connection, the power dissipated by each bulb is: .................. $W$
In a potentiometer experiment, the galvanometer shows no deflection when a cell is connected across $60\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $6\,\Omega $, the balance is obtained across $50\, cm$ of the wire. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega $
