Question 33 Marks
Two resistances \(X\) and \(Y\) in the two gaps of a meter-bridge gives a null point dividing the wire in the ratio \(2: 3\). If each resistance is increased by \(30 \Omega\), the null point divides the wire in the ratio \(5: 6\), calculate the value of \(X\) and \(Y\).

Question 43 Marks
When a resistor of \(5 \Omega\) is connected across the cell, its terminal potential difference is balanced by \(150 cm\) of potentiometer wire and when a resistance of \(10 \Omega\) is connected across cell, the terminal potential difference is balanced by \(175 cm\) same potentiometer wire. Find the balancing length when the cell is in open circuit and the internal resistance of the cell.

Question 53 Marks
A cell balances against a length of \(200 cm\) on a potentiometer wire, when it is shunted by a resistance of \(8 \Omega\). The balancing length reduces by \(40 cm\), when it is shunted by a resistance of \(4 \Omega\). Calculate the balancing length when the cell is in open circuit. Also calculate the internal resistance of the cell.
