Question
- Assertion (A): The given figure does not show a balanced Wheatstone bridge.
- Reason (R): For a balanced bridge small current should flow through the galvanometer.
Options
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A).
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
Assertion (A) is false and Reason (R) is also false.
Solution
Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
For a balanced Wheatstone Bridge,
`P/Q = R/S`
⇒ `2/3 = 3/2`
0.67 = 1.5
`P/Q ≠ R/S`
As a result, it isn't a balanced Wheatstone bridge. The current through a galvanometer must be zero in the case of a balanced Wheatstone bridge. As a result, the reason is incorrect and the statement is correct.
