The bridge circuit shown in Fig. 1 is balanced when R1=100 Ω, R2= 1000 Ω, and R3= 150 Ω. The bridge is energized from a 5V DC source. (a) What is the value of Rx? (b) Suppose each bridge resistor is capable of dissipating 250mW. Can the bridge be left in a balanced state without exceeding the power-dissipating capacity of the resistors, thereby damaging the bridge? And why?
