Wheatstone Bridge Balance (P/Q = R/S balance condition (no deflection in)

jee-mainjee-advancedneet-ug

P/Q = R/S balance condition (no deflection in galvanometer branch)

What each symbol means

SymbolWhat it stands for
R_iFour arms of bridge (Ω)
balanceIg = 0 between midpoints of two voltage dividers

When to use this

Linear resistors; ideal galvanometer as zero-current detector; DC steady.
