Obtain the relation R 1 R 2 = R 3 R 4 for a Wheatstone’s bridge. The symbols have their standard meanings.

If the wheat stone bridge is balanced, No current in arm CD. So, Applying KVL in loop ACDA I 1 R 1 - I 2 R 3 = 0 ⇒ I 1 R 1 = I 2 R 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 1 ) Similarly Applying KVL in loop CBDC , I 1 R 2 - I 2 R 4 = 0 ⇒ I 1 R 2 = I 2 R 4 . . . . . . . . . . . . ( 2 ) Dividing (1) by (2) R 1 R 2 = R 3 R 4

$n$ Cells each of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$ are connected in series to form a row. m such rows are connected in parallel to form a battery of $N = mn$ Cells. This battery is connected to an external resistance: $R$ . Show that current $I$ flowing through the external resistance $R$ is given by
$I = \frac{N_{e}}{mR + nr}$
