(N/A) $1$. Network: An electrical network is a complex interconnection of various electrical components like resistors,capacitors,inductors,and voltage sources (cells) that form a circuit.
$2$. Junction (Branch point): $A$ junction or branch point is a point in an electrical network where three or more conductors meet. It is a node where the current can divide or combine.
$3$. Loop: $A$ loop is any closed conducting path in an electrical network that starts and ends at the same point,traversing through various circuit elements.

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

$A$ 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 $40 \text{ V}$.
