In a meter bridge experiment, two resistor 2\(\Omega\) and 3\(\Omega\) occupy the left and right gaps respectively. Find the balance point from the left side of the bridge
A
20cm
B
40cm
C
60cm
D
80cm
correct option: b
Let the point be x

\(\frac{2}{x}\) = \(\frac{3}{100 - x}\)

making x subject of formula,

2(100 - x) = 3x

200 - 2x = 3x

200 = 3x + 2x

200 = 5x

divide both side by 5

x = 40cm
