The resistance of each arm of the Wheatstone bridge is $10 \, \Omega$. A resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with a galvanometer. Then, the equivalent resistance across the battery will be:

  • A
    $15 \, \Omega$
  • B
    $20 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $10 \, \Omega$
  • D
    $40 \, \Omega$

The figure shows a network of currents. The magnitude of currents is shown in the figure. The current $I$ will be ........... $A$.

The Wheatstone bridge principle is used to measure the specific resistance $(S_1)$ of a given wire,having length $L$ and radius $r$. If $X$ is the resistance of the wire,then the specific resistance is: $S_1 = X \left( \frac{\pi r^2}{L} \right)$. If the length of the wire is doubled,then the value of the specific resistance will be:

In the given circuit diagram,a wire is joining points $B$ and $D$. The current in this wire is ............. $A$.
