उत्तर
It is given that at point D, there is no deflection in the galvanometer, i.e. the bridge is balanced
\[\Rightarrow \frac{R_{AD}}{R_{DB}} = \frac{6}{R}\]
According to the principle of a potentiometer,
\[\frac{R_{AD}}{R_{DB}} = \frac{l_{AD}}{l_{DB}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{6}{R} = \frac{30}{20}\]
\[ \Rightarrow R = \frac{20 \times 6}{30} = 4 \Omega\]
