Question

The resistance values of the Wheatstone bridge shown are: $P = 2000 \text{ }\Omega$, $Q = 500 \text{ }\Omega$, $R = 3000 \text{ }\Omega$. The battery voltage $E = 50 \text{ V}$. The battery has an internal resistance of $1 \text{ }\Omega$ and the Galvanometer (G) has a resistance of $50 \text{ }\Omega$. 

The value of the resistance $S$ for balanced condition is _____________ 

$\Omega$ (Answer in integer)

To solve for the resistance S that balances the Wheatstone bridge, we use the balance condition: P/Q = R/S.

Substituting the given values:

2000/500 = 3000/S

Simplifying the left side:

4 = 3000/S

To find S, rearrange the equation:

S = 3000/4

Calculating S:

S = 750 Ω

The resistance S for balanced condition is thus 750 Ω.

This value falls within the given range of 750 to 750.
