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.

→A resistance $\text{R}=4\Omega$ is connected to one of the gaps in a meter bridge, which uses a wire of length 1m. An unknown resistance $\text{x}>4\Omega$ is connected in the other gap as shown in the figure. The balance point is noticed at ‘l’ cm from the positive end of the battery. On interchanging R and X, it is found that the balance point further shifts by 20cm (away from the end A). Neglecting the end correction calculate the value of unknown resistance ‘X’ used.
