In a meter bridge experiment to determine the value of unknown resistance, first the resistances 2 and 3 are connected in the left and right gaps of the bridge and the null point is obtained at a distance l cm from the left. Now when an unknown resistance x is connected in parallel to 3 resistance, the null point is shifted by 10 cm to the right of wire. The value of unknown resistance x is .

A wire of uniform resistance /m is bent into a circle of radius r and another piece of wire with length 2r is connected between points A and B (AOB) as shown in figure. The equivalent resistance between points A and B is . [figure]
