Figure 6.64 shows a balanced wheatstone bridge.

A

If `P `is slightly increased, the current in the galvanometer flows from `C` to `A`.

B

If `P `is slightly increased, the current in the galvanometer flows from `A` to `C`.

C

If `Q `is slightly increased, the current in the galvanometer flows from `C` to `A`.

D

If `Q` is slightly increased, the current in the galvanometer flows from `A` to `C`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
If `P` is slightly increased, potential of `C` will decrease.
Hence, current will flow from `A` to `C`
If `Q` is slightly increased, potential of `C` will increase, hence current will flow `C` to `A`.

Four resistors A, and D form a Wheatstone bridge. The bridge is balanced , when C = 100Omega If A and B are interchanged the bridge balances for C=121Omega . The value of D is

Resistances P, Q, S and R are arranged in a cyclic order to form a balanced Wheatstone's network. The ratio of power consumed in the branches (P+Q) and (R+S) is

What is the condition for the error in measuring resistance on a Wheatstone bridge to be a minimum? How can it be achieved?

The instrument used to measure resistance is the Wheatstone bridge with a slide resistance-a wire of high resistivity of length L (Fig. 26.6). Here R is a calibrated resistance, R_x, the unknown resistance. By moving the sliding contact, the current in the galvanometer is made to drop to zero. Making use of this condition (of bridge balance), find the resistance being measured.
