Resistances of the ratio arms of a Wheatstone bridge are 300 Ω and 30Ω. The fourth arm is connected to an unknown resistor. Find the value of the unknown resistance if the third arm has a resistance of 250Ω in a balanced condition?
Resistances of the ratio arms of a Wheatstone bridge are 300 Ω and 30Ω. The fourth arm is connected to an unknown resistor. Find the value of the unknown resistance if the third arm has a resistance of 250Ω in a balanced condition?
First arm resistance P=300Ω
Second arm resistance Q=30Ω
Third arm resistance R=250Ω
Let the unknown resistance be X, the ratio of resistances in the balanced condition will be, R/X=P/Q
X=(Q/P)
Substituting the values,
X= (30/300)250Ω
X= 25Ω
