Question #170405

If we have given three resistances, current and voltage...how we find the 4th resistance


Expert's answer

Answer

According to physics

A Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit used to measure an unknown  resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown resistance.




Wheatstone bridge circuit diagram. The unknown resistance Rx is to be measured; resistances R1, R2 and R3 are known, where R2 is adjustable. When the measured voltage VG is 0, both legs have equal voltage ratios: R2R1=RxR3andRx=R3R2R1\frac{R_2}{R_1} = \frac{R_x}{R_3} and\\ R_x=\frac{ R_3}{R_2}{R_1}
