Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

A current through 1 Ω\Omega resistance in the following circuit is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 51=12.52.5=5\frac{5}{1} = \frac{12.5}{2.5} = 5, so the bridge is balanced and G carries no current.
  2. Path PQR: 5+1=6 Ω5 + 1 = 6\ \Omega; path PSR: 12.5+2.5=15 Ω12.5 + 2.5 = 15\ \Omega.
  3. I1Ω=2.1×156+15=1.5I_{1\Omega} = 2.1 \times \frac{15}{6 + 15} = 1.5 A
  4. So the answer is (c) 1.5 A.
