Question 8 GCE_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2021 • PHYSICS • objective

A Wheatstone bridge is powered by a 10 V dc source. The four arms have resistances \(R_1=20\ \Omega\), \(R_3=30\ \Omega\) and \(R_4=40\ \Omega\). The galvanometer connecting the two junctions has resistance \(R_g=5\ \Omega\).\n(a) Find the value of \(R_2\) that balances the bridge (zero galvanometer current).\n(b) If the actual \(R_2\) is 25 \(\Omega\), calculate the current through the galvanometer. Give the current in milliamperes to two significant figures.

Answer Options

A. Balance R₂≈30.5 Ω; with R₂=25 Ω, I_g≈6.3 mA
B. Balance R₂≈24.0 Ω; with R₂=25 Ω, I_g≈2.1 mA
C. Balance R₂≈26.7 Ω; with R₂=25 Ω, I_g≈7.5 mA
Correct Answer D. Balance R₂≈26.7 Ω; with R₂=25 Ω, I_g≈4.8 mA
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Balance R₂≈26.7 Ω; with R₂=25 Ω, I_g≈4.8 mA
