Q44 · Physics
Choose the correct circuit which can achieve the bridge balance.
The figure, described in words
Four Wheatstone-bridge circuits (arms 10 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω, galvanometer G, cell E, key K) differing in where/how a diode D is placed in the 5 Ω arm; diode orientation is hard to read in the scan.
- 1[circuit: bridge with 10 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω arms and G; diode D connected across (in parallel with) the 5 Ω arm]
- 2[circuit: bridge with 10 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω arms and G; diode D in series with the 5 Ω arm (orientation as drawn in option 2)]
- 3[circuit: bridge with 10 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω arms and G; diode D in series with the 5 Ω arm (orientation as drawn in option 3)]Official answer
- 4[circuit: bridge with 10 Ω, 10 Ω, 15 Ω, 5 Ω arms and G; diode D in series with the 5 Ω arm (orientation as drawn in option 4)]
