Physics Question on Electrostatic potential
Two resistances R 1 = X Ω and R 2 = 1 Ω are connected to a wire AB of uniform resistivity, as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire varies linearly along its axis from 0.2 mm at A to 1 mm at B. A galvanometer (G) connected to the center of the wire, 50 cm from each end along its axis, shows zero deflection when A and B are connected to a battery. The value of X is _______.
Answer
The value of X is 5.
