What is end error in a metre bridge? How is it overcome? The resistances in the two arms of the metre bridge are R=5 Ω and S respectively. 

When the resistance S is shunted with an equal resistance, the new balance length found to be 1.5l1, where l1 is the initial balancing length. Calculate the value of S.
