उत्तर
Given: P = Q = R = 6 Ω
To find: Resistance (X)
Formula: `"P"/"Q" = "R"/"S"`
Calculation:
Let resistance connected across 18 Ω be X.
Equivalent resistance for 18 Ω and X in parallel is given by,
X' = S = `(18"X")/(18 + "X")`
From formula,
`6/6 = 6/((18"X")/(18 + "X"))`
∴ 1 = `(6(18 + "X"))/(18"X")`
∴ 18X = 108 + 6X
∴ 12X = 108
∴ X = 9 Ω
The resistance connected across 18 Ω resistance to balance the network is 9 Ω.

A resistance R is to be measured using a meter bridge. Student chooses the standard resistance S to be 100Ω. He finds the null point at l1 = 2.9 cm. He is told to attempt to improve the accuracy. Which of the following is a useful way?
The measurement of an unknown resistance R is to be carried out using Wheatstones bridge (figure). Two students perform an experiment in two ways. The first students takes R2 = 10 Ω and R1 = 5 Ω. The other student takes R2 = 1000 Ω and R1 = 500 Ω. In the standard arm, both take R3 = 5 Ω. Both find R = `R_2/R_1 R_3` = 10 Ω within errors.
- The errors of measurement of the two students are the same.
- Errors of measurement do depend on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured.
- If the student uses large values of R2 and R1, the currents through the arms will be feeble. This will make determination of null point accurately more difficult.
- Wheatstone bridge is a very accurate instrument and has no errors of measurement.
