NEET Physics Resistance & Resistivity MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 12

In a Wheatstone bridge, if the resistances R1, R2, and R3 are known to be 10 Ω, 20 Ω, and 15 Ω respectively, what should be the value of R4 for the bridge to be balanced?

A

30 Ω

B

7.5 Ω

C

10 Ω

D

25 Ω

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the Wheatstone bridge balance condition R1/R2 = R3/R4, we get 10/20 = 15/R4, which gives R4 = 7.5 Ω.
