Question
Write balancing condition of a Wheatstone bridge.
Advertisements
Solution
When no current flows through the galvanometer, the wheatstone bridge is considered to be in a balanced state. This condition can be met by modifying the known and variable resistance.
The balancing condition,
`"R"_1/"R"_2 = "R"_3/"R"_4`
