Answer
The equivalent circuit is as shown in figure alongside. [$\therefore$ Bridge is in balanced condition, no current flows through $5\Omega$ resistance] $\frac{1}{\text{R}}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac15\text{R}=5\Omega$
Current in the circuit $=\frac{6}{2.5}\text{A}=2.4\text{A}$ Kirchhoff’s Loop Law: The algebraic sum of potential differences of different circuit elements of a closed circuit (or mesh) is zero. This law is based on law of conservation of energy.
