Wheatstone Bridge & Metre Bridge

If the galvanometer GG does not show any deflection in the circuit shown, the value of RR is given by:

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. No current through G, so the p.d. across R equals the 2 V cell.
  2. The 10 V cell sends current through 400 Ω\Omega and R in series: 10R400+R=2\frac{10R}{400 + R} = 2
  3. 10R=800+2R⇒R=100 Ω10R = 800 + 2R \Rightarrow R = 100\ \Omega
  4. So the answer is (b) 100 Ω100\ \Omega.
