    In a typical Wheatstone network, the resistances in cyclic order are A = 10 W, B = 5 W, C = 4 W and D = 4 W for the bridge to be balanced                                                   [KCET 2000]

    A)         10 W should be connected in parallel with A

    B)         10 W should be connected in series with A

    C)         5 W should be connected in series with B            

    D)         5 W should be connected in parallel with B

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                                             For a balance Wheatstone bridge. \[\frac{A}{B}=\frac{D}{C}\Rightarrow \frac{10}{5}\ne \frac{4}{4}\text{ (Unbalanced)}\] \[\frac{A'}{B}=\frac{D}{C}\Rightarrow \frac{A'}{5}=\frac{4}{4}\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[A'=5\Omega \] \[A'(5\Omega )\] is obtained by connecting a \[10\,\Omega \] resistance in parallel with A.
