When a Wheatstone bridge is in a balanced condition, the center voltmeter in the bridge will read_____________?

Correct answer: C. zero volts

  • A. twice the source voltage
  • B. half the source voltage
  • C. zero volts
  • D. the same as the source voltage

Explanation

A balanced Wheatstone bridge has equal potential at the two midpoint nodes, so there is no voltage across the center voltmeter. The meter therefore reads zero volts.
