Numerical - Calculate smallest detectable change in resistance.
Q. A highly sensitive galvanometer is used in Wheatstone bridge and it can detect a current as low as 80 pA. The resistances of each arm of bridge are 800 ohm and the resistance of galvanometer is 40 ohm. If an input of 20 V is applied to the bridge then the smallest change in resistance which can be detected is- Published on 15 Sep 15a. 10.752 μA
b. 15.280 μA
c. 17.351 μA
d. 23.719 μA
ANSWER: 10.752 μA
