    R shunt Resistance

    Given

    CD = 3m

    CF = 2m

    Current through potentiometer wire

    I = v R 0 = V A ρ L  (1)

    A Area of potentiometer wire

      ρ Resistivity of the wire

    L Length of the potentiometer wire

    Case 1 When 8 Ω  shunt is bal aced at 3m length

    V C D = I R C D = V ρ L A × ρ C F A

    V C D = V l L = V × 3 L

    VCD = VAB = E – I1r

    = E R + r r = V L × 3

    E [ 1 r 8 + r ] = V L × 3  (2)

    Case 2 When 4  Ω shunt is balanced at 2m length

    V C F = I R C F = V ρ L A × ρ C F A = V × 2 L

    V C F = V A B = E I 2 r

    = E E R + r r

    = E [ 1 r 4 + r ]

      E ( 1 r 4 + r ) = V × 2 L (3)

    ( 2 ) ÷ ( 3 )

    1 r 8 + r 1 r 4 + r = 3 2

    ( 8 8 + r ) × ( 4 + 8 4 ) = 3 2

    4 ( 4 + r ) = 3 ( 8 + r )

    1 6 + 4 r = 2 4 + 3 r

    r = 24 – 16

    r = 8 Ω
