In a typical Wheatstone network, the resistances in cyclic order are $A = 10 \,\Omega $, $B = 5 \,\Omega $, $C = 4 \,\Omega $ and $D = 4 \,\Omega $ for the bridge to be balanced
  • A$10 \,\Omega $ should be connected in parallel with $A$
  • B$10 \,\Omega $ should be connected in series with $A$
  • C$5 \,\Omega $ should be connected in series with $B$
  • D$5 \,\Omega $ should be connected in parallel with $B$
