Example P, QR and S are four resistance wires of
resistances 2, 2, 2 and 3 ohms respectively. Find out the
resistance with which S must be shunted in order that bridge
may be balanced.
Example Wheatstone bridge arrangement, the
ratio arns P and Q are nearly equal. The bridge is balanced
when R = 500 S2. On interchanging P and Q the value of R
for balancing is 505 S2. Find the value of X and the ratio
PIQ.
Example The galvanometer, in each of the tuo given
circuits, does not show any deflection. Find the ratio of the
resistors R, and Ry, used in these tuo circuits.
