Wheatstone Bridge & Metre Bridge

In the following network, the current through galvanometer will

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. Take VP=VV_P = V (positive terminal) and VR=0V_R = 0.
  2. Branch PQR: 44 and 4 Ω4\ \Omega, so VQ=48V=0.5VV_Q = \dfrac{4}{8}V = 0.5V
  3. Branch PSR: 11 and 3 Ω3\ \Omega, so VS=34V=0.75VV_S = \dfrac{3}{4}V = 0.75V
  4. VS>VQV_S > V_Q, so current flows through G from S to Q.
  5. So the answer is (d) from S to Q.
