Can the resistors in an "unbalanced" Wheatstone bridge circuit be treated as a combination of series and/or parallel resistors?
What about a "balanced bridge?
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The resistors in a unbalanced wheat stone bridge cannot be treated as a combination of series and parallel combination of resistors.
In case of balanced wheat stone bridge, the resistors can be treated as the combination of series and parallel combination.
Here, In the balanced wheat stone bridge
R1 and R2 be in series and Ra and Rx is series and then their combination is in parallel combination.

Answer:
1.65
Explanation:
The equation of the forces along the horizontal direction is:
(1)
where
F = 65 N is the force applied with the push
is the frictional force
m = 4 kg is the mass
is the acceleration
The force of friction can be written as (2), where
is the coefficient of kinetic friction
R is the normal force exerted by the floor
The equation of forces along the vertical direction is
(3)
since the bookcase is in equilibrium. Substituting (2) and (3) into (1), we find
And solving for ,
