An unknown resistance is connected in the left gap of a metre bridge and a resistance R is connected in the right gap. The null point is obtained at 40 cm from the left end. When a 10 N resistor is connected in series with the unknown resistance and the same resistance R is kept in the right gap, the null point is obtained at the centre of the wire. Calculate the unknown resistance.
