Obtain the balancing condition in the case of Wheatstone's network.
उत्तर
Four resistances P, Q, R and S are connected to form a quadrilateral ABCD as shown in the following figure. A battery of emf ε along with a key is connected between points A and C such that point A is at higher potential with respect to point C. A galvanometer of internal resistance G is connected between points B and D.
When the key is closed, current I flow through the circuit. It divides into I1 and I2 at point A. I1 is the current through P and I2 is the current through S. The current I1 gets divided at point B. Let Ig be the current flowing through the galvanometer. The currents flowing through Q and R are respectively (I1 – Ig) and (I2 + Ig),
I = I1 + I2 ...(1)
Consider the loop ABDA. Applying Kirchhoff’s voltage law in the clockwise sense shown in the loop we get,
- I1P - IgG + I2S = 0 ...(2)
Applying Kirchhoff's voltage law to loop BCDB in a clockwise sense, we get,
- (I1 - Ig)Q + (I2 + Ig)R + IgG = 0 .....(3)
From these three equations (Eq. (1), (2), (3) we can find the current flowing through any branch of the circuit.
A special case occurs when the current passing through the galvanometer is zero. In this case, the bridge is said to be balanced. Condition for the balance is Ig = 0. This condition can be obtained by adjusting the values of P, Q, R and S. Substituting Ig = 0 in Eq. (2) and Eq. (3) we get,
– I1P + I2S = 0 ∴ I1P = I2S ...(4)
– I1Q + I2R = 0 ∴ I1Q = I2R ...(5)
Dividing Eq. (4) by Eq. (5), we get
`∴ ("I"_1"P")/("I"_1"Q") = ("I"_1"S")/("I"_2"R")`
`therefore"P"/"Q" = "S"/"R"`

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.
