(a) With reference to the circuit configuration presented, describe in terms of voltages and resistances what is meant if the Wheatstone bridge is 'balanced'. (b) Calculate the voltage, Va, for the 3 cases when i) R = 7502, ii) R iii) R₂ = 10500. = 1kn2, and (c) If the variable resistor, R, is set to an unknown value, show using relevant formulae how this unknown value of R can be determined by measuring the voltages, VA and VB.
