In a Wheatstone's bridge all the four arms have equal resistance $R$. If the resistance of the galvanometer arm is also $R$, the equivalent resistance of the combination as seen by the battery is:
  1. $\frac{R}{4}$
  2. $\frac{R}{2}$
  3. $R$
  4. $2 R$

Solution

Resistance seen by the battery $=$ Equivalent resistance between $A$ and $B$ is $R$.
