Q41 · Physics
A wheatstone bridge is used to determine the value of unknown resistance X by adjusting the variable resistance Y as shown in the figure. For the most precise measurement of X, the resistances P and Q :
The figure, described in words
Wheatstone bridge: arms P and X on top, Q and variable Y below, galvanometer G across the middle, cell E across the bridge.
- 1do not play any significant role
- 2should be approximately equal to 2X
- 3should be approximately equal and are smallOfficial answer
- 4should be very large and unequal
Official answer: option 3 · NTA final answer key
