Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the resistances in a Wheatstone bridge are 10Ω, 20Ω, 30Ω, and 60Ω, what is the value of the unknown resistance?
  • Step 1: Identify the resistances in the Wheatstone bridge. We have R1 = 10Ω, R2 = 20Ω, R3 = 30Ω, and R4 is the unknown resistance.
  • Step 2: Write down the formula for a Wheatstone bridge, which is R1/R2 = R3/R4.
  • Step 3: Substitute the known values into the formula: 10Ω / 20Ω = 30Ω / R4.
  • Step 4: Cross-multiply to solve for R4: 10Ω * R4 = 20Ω * 30Ω.
  • Step 5: Calculate the right side: 20 * 30 = 600.
  • Step 6: Now we have: 10Ω * R4 = 600.
  • Step 7: Divide both sides by 10Ω to find R4: R4 = 600 / 10 = 60Ω.
