Question

The resistances of the four arms P, Q, R and S in a Wheatstone’s bridge are 10 ohm, 30 ohm, 30 ohm and 90 ohm, respectively. The e.m.f. and internal resistance of the cell are 7 Volt and 5 ohm respectively. If the galvanometer resistance is 50 ohm, the current drawn from the cell will be:

Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. (a) Total resistance of Wheatstone bridge = (40 ) (120 )40+120=30 Current through cell = 7 V (5+30 ) = 15 A=0.2 A
