A meter bridge is set up to determine unknown resistance \(x\) using a standard \(10~\Omega\) resistor. The galvanometer shows the null point when the tapping key is at a \(52\) cm mark. End corrections are \(1\) cm and \(2\) cm respectively for end \(A\) and \(B\). Then the value of \(x\) is:

      
1. \(10.2~\Omega\)
2. \(10.6~\Omega\)
3. \(10.8~\Omega\)
4. \(11.1~\Omega\)

An unknown resistance R1 is connected in series with a resistance of 10 Ω. This combinations is connected to one gap of a metre bridge while a resistance R2 is connected in the other gap. The balance point is at 50 cm. Now, when the 10 Ω resistance is removed the balance point shifts to 40 cm. The value of R1 is (in ohm

The potential gradient along the length of a uniform wire is \(10~\text{V/m}\). \(B\) and \(C\) are the two points at \(30~\text{cm}\) and \(60~\text{cm}\) point on a meter scale fitted along the wire. The potential difference between \(B\) and \(C\) will be:
1. \(3~\text{V}\)
2. \(0.4~\text{V}\)
3. \(7~\text{V}\)
4. \(4~\text{V}\)
