    Wheatstone's Bridge

    It is an arrangement of four resistances which can be used to measure one of them in terms of rest. Let R is an adjustable resistance, Pand Q are known resistance and S is an unknown resistance. To obtain a value of S we will close the keys K1 and K2 and will adjust R to obtain null deflection in the galvanometer. Then the balancing condition of bridge is 

    $
    \begin{aligned}
    & \frac{P}{Q}=\frac{R}{S} \\
    & V_B=V_D
    \end{aligned}
    $

    (Balanced condition)
    No current will flow through the galvanometer
    unbalanced condition: $V_B>V_D$

    $
    \left(V_A-V_B\right)<\left(V_A-V_D\right)
    $


    Current will flow from $A$ to $B$
