A Wheatstone bridge can be used to determine an unknown_____________?
Correct answer: C. resistance
- A. current
- B. voltage
- C. resistance
- D. power
Explanation
A Wheatstone bridge compares resistor ratios and reaches balance when the detector current is zero. Using the balance relationship, an unknown resistance can be calculated from the known resistors.
