4. Use Kirchhoff’s rules to obtain conditions for the balance condition in a Wheatstone bridge.


A Wheatstone bridge arrangement is shown as below: 

 

Using Kirchoff’s second  law to the loop ABDA, we get 



Applying Kirchoff’s law to loop BCDB, we get



When the bridge is balanced, Ig = 0
Then, the equations can be written as, 

                     ... (1) 

                   ... (2) 

On dividing equation (1) by (2), we get

, which is the balanced condition of a Wheatstone bridge.

A cell of emf ‘E’ and internal resistance ‘r’ is connected across a variable load resistor R. Draw the plots of the terminal voltage V versus
(i) R and
(ii) the current I.

It is found that when R = 4 Ω , the current is 1 A and when R is increased to 9 Ω , the current reduces to 0.5 A. Find the values of the emf E and internal resistance r.

State the principle of working of a galvanometer.

A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltmeter to measure upto V volts by connecting a resistance R1 in series with the coil. If a resistance R2  is connected in series with it, then it can measure upto V/2 volts. Find the resistance, in terms of R1 and R2, required to be connected to convert it into a voltmeter that can read upto 2 V. Also find the resistance G of the galvanometer in terms of R1 and R2
