A) 0.36 A
B) zero
C) 0.18 A
D) 0.72 A
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The balanced condition for Wheatstones bridge is \[\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R}{S}\] as is obvious from the given values. No, current flows through galvanometer is zero. Now, P and R are in series, so Resistance \[{{R}_{1}}=P+R\] \[=10+15=250\] Similarly, Q and S are in series, so Resistance \[{{R}_{2}}=R+S\] \[=20+30=500\] Net resistance of the network as \[{{R}_{1}}\] and \[{{R}_{2}}\]are in parallel \[\frac{1}{R}=\frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}+\frac{1}{{{R}_{2}}}\] \[\therefore \] \[R=\frac{25\times 50}{25+50}=\frac{50}{3}\Omega \] Hence, \[I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{6}{50}=0.36\,A\]You need to login to perform this action.
