Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true regarding a Wheatstone bridge?
Correct Answer: A Wheatstone bridge can be used for both AC and DC circuits to measure resistance.
  • Step 1: Understand what a Wheatstone bridge is. It is a circuit used to measure unknown electrical resistances.
  • Step 2: Know that a Wheatstone bridge consists of four resistors arranged in a diamond shape with a voltage source and a galvanometer.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the Wheatstone bridge can balance the resistances, allowing for precise measurement of an unknown resistor.
  • Step 4: Learn that the Wheatstone bridge can work with both AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) circuits.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the statement 'A Wheatstone bridge can be used for both AC and DC circuits to measure resistance' is true.
