A Wheatstone bridge is used to determine the value of unknown resistance X by adjusting the variable resistance Y as shown in the figure. For the most precise measurement of X, the resistances P and Q

NEET 2022 (Phase 1)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

For precise measurement ofX, value ofXshould be close toY. Therefore, resistancesPandQshould be equal.
IfPandQare large the current in the galvanometer will be small, and it will be difficult to find the null point. Therefore,PandQshould be small.
