NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 12

Consider a Wheatstone bridge circuit where resistors R1, R2, R3, and R4 are arranged in a diamond shape. If the bridge is balanced, which relationship among the resistors holds true?

Question diagram
A

R1/R2 = R3/R4

B

R1 * R4 = R2 * R3

C

R1/R3 = R2/R4

D

R1 + R4 = R2 + R3

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

For a balanced Wheatstone bridge, the condition R1 * R4 = R2 * R3 must be met, as derived from equations (3.62) and (3.63) in the NCERT context.
