Q.

The value of unknown resistance (x) for which the potential between B and D will be zero in the arrangement shown, is     [2024]

1 6Ω  
2 9Ω  
3 42Ω  
4 3Ω  

Ans.

(1)

Potential difference between B and D will be zero in a balanced

Wheatstone Bridge

In case of balanced Wheatstone Bridge,

VABVAD=VBCVCD126+x=0.50.5x=6Ω
