The diagram above illustrates a meter bridge circuit underbalanced conditions. Determine the value of x.

50.cm
10.0 cm
28.6 cm
57.2 cm

Explanation

Using wheatstone bridge principle;

\(\frac{2}{x} = \frac{2}{(100 - x)}\)

2(100 - x) = 2 x \(x\)

200 = 2\(x + 2x\) 

200 = 4x

x = \(\frac{200}{4}\)

= 50cm
