NEET Physics Wheatstone Bridge MCQ Question with Solution

In a Wheatstone Bridge with resistors R1 = 100 Ω, R2 = 150 Ω, and R3 = 200 Ω, determine the value of the unknown resistor R4 that will balance the bridge.

A

133 Ω

B

300 Ω

C

75 Ω

D

250 Ω

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

Using the balance condition $\frac{R1}{R2} = \frac{R3}{R4}$ , substituting $R1 = 100 \text{ Ω}, R2 = 150 \text{ Ω}, R3 = 200 \text{ Ω}$ , we find $R4 = 250 \text{ Ω}$ .
