Correct answer: 0 A, NONE OF THE OPTIONS MATCHES; THE STORED ANSWER B IS INCONSISTENT WITH A BALANCED WHEATSTONE BRIDGE.
-
Interpret the Wheatstone bridge
Let the four arms be:
and the galvanometer of resistance is connected across .
A potential difference of is applied across and .
-
Check if the bridge is balanced
For a Wheatstone bridge, balance condition is
Substituting:
This is true, so the bridge is balanced.
-
Consequence of balance
In a balanced Wheatstone bridge, the potentials at points and are equal. Therefore,
Hence the potential difference across the galvanometer is
-
Current through galvanometer
Using Ohm’s law,
So the current through the galvanometer is
-
Compare with given options
None of the listed options matches .
-
Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer is B: .
But for the given resistances, the bridge is exactly balanced, so galvanometer current must be zero. Therefore the stored answer appears inconsistent with the stated data.
