उत्तर
Let D be the null-point of the potentiometer. Since the bridge is balanced at this point,
\[\frac{R_{AD}}{R_{DB}} = \frac{8}{12}\]
According to the principle of a potentiometer,
\[\frac{R_{AD}}{R_{DB}} = \frac{l_{AD}}{l_{DB}} = \frac{8}{12} = \frac{2}{3} \]
\[ \Rightarrow l_{AD} = \frac{2}{3} l_{DB} \]
\[ l_{AD} + l_{DB} = 40 cm\]
\[ \Rightarrow l_{DB} \frac{2}{3} + l_{DB} = 40 cm\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{5}{3} l_{DB} = 40 cm\]
\[ \Rightarrow l_{DB} = 40 \times \frac{3}{5} = 24 cm\]
Hence, the null-point is obtained 24 cm from B.
