A Wheatstone bridge is used to measure an unknown resistance, Rx, as shown. At the null point, the variable resistor, Rv, has a resistance of 2100 Ω. What is the unknown resistance? Rx, Rv, R3 = 3500 Ω, R4 = 1500 Ω

The Wheatstone bridge is a circuit used to measure unknown resistances. The bridge in the figure is balanced-no current flows through the galvanometer. (a) What is the unknown resistance $R_{x} ?$ [Hint: What is the potential difference between points $A \text { and } B ?]$ (b) Does the resistance of the galvanometer affect the measurement? Explain.
