In metre-bridge experiment the balance point is obtained if the gaps are closed by \(2 \Omega\) and \(3 \Omega\). A shunt of \(x \Omega\) is added to \(3 \Omega\) resistor to shift the balance point by \(22.5 \text{ cm}\). The value of \(x\) is.
Show Hint
Shunting a resistor always decreases the total resistance in that gap, moving the balance point away from it.
