This function can calculate the unknown resistance in an wheatstone network,
given that the three other resistances in the network are known.
The formula to calculate the same is:
---------------
|Rx=(R2/R1)*R3|
---------------
Usage examples:
>>> wheatstone_solver(resistance_1=2, resistance_2=4, resistance_3=5)
10.0
>>> wheatstone_solver(resistance_1=356, resistance_2=234, resistance_3=976)
641.5280898876405
>>> wheatstone_solver(resistance_1=2, resistance_2=-1, resistance_3=2)

ValueError: All resistance values must be positive
