Question
Calculate the current drawn from the battery in the given network shown here. State Kirchhoff’s loop law and name the law on which it is based.

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.

Find the temperature at which the average thermal kinetic energy is equal to the energy needed to take a hydrogen atom from its ground state to n = 3 state. Hydrogen can now emit red light of wavelength 653.1nm. Because of Maxwellian distribution of speeds, a hydrogen sample emits red light at temperatures much lower than that obtained from this problem. Assume that hydrogen molecules dissociate into atoms.
