Chapter 2, Problem 2.104P
In theory, any values can be used for R1 and R3 in the Wheatstone bridge of Figure 2.66. For the bridge to balance, it is only the ratio R3/R1 that is important. What practical problems might occur if the values are very small? What practical problems might occur it the values are very large?

A Wheatstone bridge is used for measuriug the valuc of change of resistance
of a strain gauge wnich forms one of the arms of the bridge. All tbe arms of the bridge including
the strain gauge have a resistance of 100 N each. The maximum a!lowable power dissipation from
the strain gauge is 250 mW. Determine the value of maximu:n permissible current through the strain
gauge and maximum allowable value of bridge supply voltage. Suppose a source of 20 V is available,
lind the value of series resistance to be connected between the source and the bridge to limit the
input voltage of the bridge to permissible level.
