Wheatstone Bridge Hard
Hardphysics
Balanced Wheatstone bridge condition:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
R1/R2 = R3/R4
A Wheatstone bridge is in balance when no current flows through the galvanometer in the bridge arm (Ig=0).
- This occurs when the potential at the two junction points of the galvanometer arm is equal.
- For a bridge with resistors R1,R2 on one side and R3,R4 on the other side of the junctions: R2R1=R4R3
