Value of Thevenin Resistance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Resistance (Thevenin) Op = ((Resistance 1*Resistance 3)/(Resistance 1+Resistance 3))+((Resistance 2*Unknown Resistance b)/(Resistance 2+Unknown Resistance b))
R_{th_op} = ((R_1b*R₃)/(R_1b+R₃))+((R_2b*R_xb)/(R_2b+R_xb))
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Resistance (Thevenin) Op - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance (Thevenin) Op is the total Thevenin resistance for an unbalanced Wheatstone bridge.
Resistance 1 - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance 1 is the value of resistance connected in arm AD (ABCD is labelled clockwise, with A being labelled at the top).
Resistance 3 - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance 3 is the value of resistance connected in arm CD (ABCD is labelled clockwise, with A being labelled at the top).
Resistance 2 - (Measured in Ohm) - Resistance 2 is the value of resistance connected in arm AB (ABCD is labelled clockwise, with A being labelled at the top).
Unknown Resistance b - (Measured in Ohm) - Unknown Resistance b is the value of resistance connected in arm BC (ABCD is labelled clockwise, with A being labelled at the top).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Resistance 1: 10 Ohm --> 10 Ohm No Conversion Required
Resistance 3: 32 Ohm --> 32 Ohm No Conversion Required
Resistance 2: 20 Ohm --> 20 Ohm No Conversion Required
Unknown Resistance b: 50 Ohm --> 50 Ohm No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

R_{th_op} = ((R_1b*R₃)/(R_1b+R₃))+((R_2b*R_xb)/(R_2b+R_xb)) --> ((10*32)/(10+32))+((20*50)/(20+50))

Evaluating ... ...

R_{th_op} = 21.9047619047619

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

21.9047619047619 Ohm --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

21.9047619047619 Ohm <-- Resistance (Thevenin) Op

Value of Thevenin Resistance Formula

When is the bridge said to be balanced?

The bridge is balanced when the current through the galvanometer is zero, i.e., the potential across the galvanometer is the same.

How to Calculate Value of Thevenin Resistance?

Value of Thevenin Resistance calculator uses Resistance (Thevenin) Op = ((Resistance 1*Resistance 3)/(Resistance 1+Resistance 3))+((Resistance 2*Unknown Resistance b)/(Resistance 2+Unknown Resistance b)) to calculate the Resistance (Thevenin) Op, The Value of Thevenin Resistance formula is used to calculate the total resistance effective in an unbalanced Wheatstone bridge in which R_g is not zero.
