The null point changed to $50 ext{ cm}$ from the point P, when $16 ext{ \Omega}$ resistance is connected in parallel to $R_2$. The values of resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ are ________ [Diagram: A meter bridge with R1 and R2. Null point at 40cm from P. Then 16 Ohm parallel to R2, null point at 50cm from P.]

Question

A meter bridge with two resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ as shown in figure was balanced (null point) at $40 	ext{ cm}$ from the point P. The null point changed to $50 	ext{ cm}$ from the point P, when $16 	ext{ \Omega}$ resistance is connected in parallel to $R_2$. The values of resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ are ________ [Diagram: A meter bridge with R1 and R2. Null point at 40cm from P. Then 16 Ohm parallel to R2, null point at 50cm from P.]

Accepted Answer

$R_2 = 8\Omega, R_1 = \frac{16}{3}\Omega$
