Four resistances 6Ω, 6Ω, 6Ω and 18Ω form a Wheatstone bridge. Find the resistance which connected across the 18Ω resistance will balance the network.

बेरीज

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.

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.

  1. The errors of measurement of the two students are the same.
  2. Errors of measurement do depend on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured.
  3. 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.
  4. Wheatstone bridge is a very accurate instrument and has no errors of measurement.
