Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

In the following network, the current flowing through 15 Ω15\ \Omega resistance is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. 153=204=5\frac{15}{3} = \frac{20}{4} = 5, so the bridge is balanced and no current flows through G.
  2. Path ABC: 15+3=18 Ω15 + 3 = 18\ \Omega; path ADC: 20+4=24 Ω20 + 4 = 24\ \Omega.
  3. I15=2.1×2418+24=1.2I_{15} = 2.1 \times \frac{24}{18 + 24} = 1.2 A
  4. So the answer is (c) 1.21.2 A.
