The correct answer is option 4):(the same as that of Y)

Concept:

  • The given circuit resembles the wheat stone bridge
  • F3 Madhuri Engineering 10.01.2023 D4
  • The Wheatstone bridge works on the principle of null deflection, i.e. the ratio of their resistances is equal, and no current flows through the circuit. Under normal conditions, the bridge is in an unbalanced condition where current flows through the galvanometer. The bridge is said to be balanced when no current flows through the galvanometer.
  • If the resistance of each resistor is 100 ohm, The bridge is at balance condition no current flows in the centre arm. the potential at X is equal to y
