Question

The resistance values of the Wheatstone bridge shown are:
P=2000 ΩP = 2000\ \Omega, Q=500 ΩQ = 500\ \Omega, R=3000 ΩR = 3000\ \Omega. The battery voltage E=50VE = 50\text{V}.
The battery has an internal resistance of 1 Ω1\ \Omega and the Galvanometer (G) has a resistance of 50 Ω50\ \Omega.
