JEE MAIN - Physics (2019 - 10th January Evening Slot - No. 3)

The Wheatstone bridge shown in figure, here, gets balanced when the carbon resistor used as R1 has the colour code (Orange, Red, Brown). The resistors R2 and R4 are 80$$\Omega $$ and 40$$\Omega $$, respectively. Assuming that the colour code for the carbon resistors gives their accurate values, the colour code for the carbon resistor, used as R3, would be -

Brown, Blue, Brown
Grey, Black, Brown
Red, Green, Brown
Brown, Blue, Black

Explanation

R1 = 32 $$ \times $$ 10 = 320

for wheatstone bridge

$$ \Rightarrow $$  $${{{R_1}} \over {{R_3}}} = {{{R_2}} \over {{R_4}}}$$

$${{320} \over {{R_3}}} = {{80} \over {40}}$$

$${R_3} = 160$$

$$ \therefore $$  Correct answer is Brown  Blue  Brown
