Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the maximum number of resistors that can be used in a Wheatstone bridge configuration?
Correct Answer: 4
  • Step 1: Understand what a Wheatstone bridge is. It is a circuit used to measure unknown electrical resistance.
  • Step 2: Identify the basic components of a Wheatstone bridge. It typically consists of four resistors arranged in a diamond shape.
  • Step 3: Recognize that in a standard Wheatstone bridge, there are two resistors on each side of the bridge.
  • Step 4: Count the total number of resistors used in this standard configuration. There are 4 resistors in total.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the maximum number of resistors in a standard Wheatstone bridge configuration is 4.
