In a Wheatstone bridge,three resistances $P, Q$ and $R$ are connected in the three arms and the fourth arm is formed by two resistances $S_1$ and $S_2$ connected in parallel. The condition for the bridge to be balanced is

  • A
    $\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{2 R}{S_1+S_2}$
  • B
    $\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R\left(S_1+S_2\right)}{2 S_1 S_2}$
  • C
    $\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R\left(S_1+S_2\right)}{S_1 S_2}$
  • D
    $\frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R\left(S_1 S_2\right)}{S_1+S_2}$

Two resistances $R_1 = X \Omega$ and $R_2 = 1 \Omega$ are connected to a wire $AB$ of uniform resistivity,as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire varies linearly along its axis from $0.2 \text{ mm}$ at $A$ to $1 \text{ mm}$ at $B$. $A$ galvanometer $(G)$ connected to the center of the wire,$50 \text{ cm}$ from each end along its axis,shows zero deflection when $A$ and $B$ are connected to a battery. The value of $X$ is:

In the cube shown,current $i$ enters at $H$ and leaves at $C$. If $i_{AB} = \frac{i}{6}$,$i_{DC} = \frac{2i}{3}$,$i_{HA} = \frac{i}{2}$,$i_{GF} = \frac{i}{6}$,and $i_{HE} = \frac{i}{6}$,choose the branch in which the current is zero.
