Question 373: Current Electricity

Question

The Wheatstone bridge shown in figure, here, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as R
1
has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown). The resistors R
2
and R
4
are 80$$\Omega $$ and 40$$\Omega $$, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as R
3
, would be -

Accepted Answer

R
1
= 32 $$ 	imes $$ 10 = 320
for wheatstone bridge
$$ \Rightarrow $$  $${{{R_1}} \over {{R_3}}} = {{{R_2}} \over {{R_4}}}$$
$${{320} \over {{R_3}}} = {{80} \over {40}}$$
$${R_3} = 160$$
$$ 	herefore $$  Correct answer is Brown  Blue  Brown
