Question
ABCD is a square where each side is a uniform wire of resistance 1Ω. A point E lies on CD such that if a uniform wire of resistance 1Ω is connected across AE and constant potential difference is applied across A and C then B and E are equipotential. Then -
Options
A.
= 1
= 1B. = 2
= 2C.
D.
= √2
= √2Solution
Assume DE R1Ω
EC ⇒ R2Ω
R1 + R2 = 1Ω
VB = VE
Means balance wheat stone bridge
R2 =
= 1 - R1 R1 + 1 = R1 + 2 - R12 - 2R
R12 + 2R1 - 1 = 0 ⇒ R1 = - 1 + √2 ⇒ R2 = 2 - √2
= √2Create a free account to view solution
