उत्तर
According to the Wheatstone bridge principle, if the bridge is balanced, then the current flow across the central resistor is zero. So, to simplify the circuit, we can remove the central resistor.
The given circuit is also balanced, so there is no current through the diode.
Hence, the net resistance of the circuit is given by
\[R_P = \frac{R_1 R_2}{R_1 + R_2}\]
\[\text{For } R_1 = R_2 = R, \]
\[ R_P = \frac{R}{2} = \frac{40}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow R_P = 20 \Omega\]
