Important Questions on Meter Bridge
In a meter bridge balance point is found at a distance with resistances R and S as shown in the figure.
When an unknown resistance X is connected in parallel with the resistance S, the balance point shifts to a distance . Find the expression for X in terms of , and S.

is a uniform wire of meter bridge, across which an ideal cell is connected as shown. Two resistor of and are inserted in slots of metre bridge. A cell of emf and internal resistance and a galvanometer is connected to jockey as shown.
If , and the distance of balance point from end is , then the value of is

Why it's said to not slide the jockey in the meter bridge?

A wire of uniform cross-section is bent in the shape of a complete ring. Two diametrically opposite points on the wire are connected to the two terminals of left gap of a metrebridge. The resistance of is connected in the right gap. If the null point is obtained at from the left end of the bridge wire, find the resistance of the wire (in ) before bending it to a ring.

When a metal conductor connected to the left gap of a metre bridge is heated, the balance point
