A wheatstone bridge is initially at room temperature and all arms of the bridge have same value of resistances ( \(R_1=R_2=R_3=R_4\) ). When \(R_3\) resistance is heated to some temperature, its resistance value has gone up by \(10 \%\). The potential difference \(\left( V _{ a }- V _{ b }\right)\) (after \(R _3\) is heated) is ___________ V.

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 0.95
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(V_{A}=\frac{V}{2}\)
\(V_{B}=\frac{V}{2.1R}\times R=\frac{V}{2.1}\)
\(\therefore V _{ A }-V_{B}=V[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2.1}]\)
\(V_{A}-V_{B}=\frac{0.1}{2\times2.1}\times40\)
\(V_{A}-V_{B}=\frac{4}{4.2}=0.95\)
