Question 298 of 380

Four resistances of 15Ω,12Ω,4Ω15\Omega ,12\Omega ,4\Omega and 10Ω10\Omega respectively in cyclic order to form Wheatstone’s network. The resistance that is to be connected in parallel with the resistance of 10Ω10\Omega to balance the network is ______________ Ω.\Omega .

Show answer and solution

Answer: 10


10R10+R×12=15×4\dfrac{10R}{10+R}\times 12=15\times 4
On solving

R=10ΩR=10\Omega
