NEET 2026 Physics Wheatstone Bridge MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A uniform metallic wire having resistance 4 Ω is bent to form a square loop (ABCD) (see figure). A resistance of 2 Ω is connected between points B and D and a battery of 2 V is connected across points A and C as shown in the figure. Now the value of current (I) is:

A
2 Å
B
8 Å
C
4.5 Å
D
4 Å
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Each side will have resistance of 1 Ω. It is a balanced Wheatstone bridge, so no current in the resistance of 2 Ω. The effective resistance across AC is 1 Ω. I = E/Rₑff = 2/1 = 2 Å.
