Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main application of a Wheatstone bridge?
Correct Answer: To measure unknown resistances.
  • Step 1: Understand what a Wheatstone bridge is. It is a circuit used to measure electrical resistance.
  • Step 2: Identify the components of the Wheatstone bridge, which include four resistors, a power source, and a galvanometer.
  • Step 3: Learn how the Wheatstone bridge works by balancing the resistors to find an unknown resistance.
  • Step 4: Realize that the main application of the Wheatstone bridge is to measure an unknown resistance by comparing it to known resistances.
