If an inductance is connected in one arm of bridge and resistances in the remaining three arms____________?

Correct answer: B. the bridge cannot be balanced

  • A. the bridge can always be balanced
  • B. the bridge cannot be balanced
  • C. the bridge can be balanced if the resistances have some specific values

Explanation

A bridge balances only when the ratios of opposite-arm impedances have equal magnitude and phase. An inductive arm introduces a phase angle, while the other three purely resistive arms have zero phase angle, so balance is impossible.
