$A$ Wheatstone bridge is initially at room temperature and all arms of the bridge have the same value of resistance $(R_1=R_2=R_3=R_4=R)$. When $R_3$ is heated to some temperature,its resistance value increases by $10 \%$. The potential difference $(V_a - V_b)$ (after $R_3$ is heated) is . . . . . . $V$. Given the total voltage is $40 \text{ V}$.
