In a Wheatstone's bridge, three resistance 'Q', 'R' and 'S' are connected in three arms and first arm is formed by three resistances '', '' and '' in parallel. The condition for the bridge to be balanced is


Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
For a balanced Wheatstone bridge, the ratio of resistances in the adjacent arms must be equal.
From the given circuit diagram, the resistances in the four arms are:
Resistance of arm AB
Resistance of arm BC
Resistance of arm AD
Resistance of arm DC
The condition for the bridge to be balanced is:
The resistance is formed by three resistors , , and connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is given by:
Substituting the value of in the balance condition, we get:
