Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is NOT a practical application of the Wheatstone bridge?
Correct Answer: Determining the specific heat of a substance
  • Step 1: Understand what a Wheatstone bridge is. It is a circuit used to measure electrical resistance.
  • Step 2: Identify practical applications of the Wheatstone bridge, such as measuring unknown resistances, calibrating measuring instruments, and testing electrical components.
  • Step 3: Consider the options given in the question and see if they relate to measuring resistance or electrical properties.
  • Step 4: Determine if 'determining the specific heat of a substance' involves measuring resistance. It does not; specific heat is related to thermal properties, not electrical.
  • Step 5: Conclude that 'determining the specific heat of a substance' is NOT a practical application of the Wheatstone bridge.
