Two cells of $e.m.f.$ $s\, E_1$ and $E_2$ and of negligible internal resistances are connected with two variable resistors as shown in Fig. When the galvanometer shows no deflection, the values of the resistances are $P$ and $Q$. What is the value of the ratio $E_2/E_1$ ?
  • A
    $\frac{P}{Q}$
  • $\frac{P}{{P + Q}}$
  • C
    $\frac{Q}{{P + Q}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{P + Q}}{P}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$\frac{P}{{P + Q}}$
b
Potential difference $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}}$ across $\mathrm{P}$ as determined

from $\mathrm{E}_{1}$ is given by $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}}=\left(\frac{\mathrm{E}_{1}}{\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{Q}}\right) \mathrm{P}.$

Also, $\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}}=\mathrm{E}_{2}$. Therefore,

$\mathrm{E}_{2}=\mathrm{E}_{1}\left(\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{Q}}\right) \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{E}_{2}}{\mathrm{E}_{1}}=\frac{\mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}+\mathrm{Q}}$

Potential difference between $B$ and $C$

${V_B} - {V_C} = 1 \times 2.5 = 2.5\,V$

$ \Rightarrow 0 - {V_C} = 2.5\,V \Rightarrow {V_C} = - 2.5\,V$

Potential difference between $C$ and $D$

${V_C} - {V_D} = - 2V$$ \Rightarrow \,\,\, - 2.5 - {V_D} = - 2 \Rightarrow \,{V_D} = - 0.5\,V.$

Taking potential of point $\mathrm{x}$ is zero potential of $\mathrm{y}$ would be $10$ while of $\mathrm{z}$ would be $20 .$ Current will flow from hight to low potential.

$I_{y}=\frac{10-0}{2}=5 \,A$

$I_{2}=\frac{20-0}{5}=4 \,A$

applying $\mathrm{KCL}$ at $\mathrm{X}$

$I_{z}+I_{x}=I_{y}$

$4+I_{x}=I_{y}=5$

$ \Rightarrow \boxed{{{\text{r}}_{\text{x}}} = 1\,{\text{A}}}$

According to figure,

Applying Kirchhoffs law in mash $(I)$

$2 i_1+6 i_1-6 i_2+8 i_1+0.5 i_1-15=0$

$16.5 i_1-6 i_2=15 \ldots . \text { (I) }$

Applying Kirchhoff's law in mash $(II)$

$7 i _2+ i _2+10 i _2+6 i _2-6 i _1=0$

$24 i _2-6 i _1=0$

$4 i _2- i _1=0$

$i _1=4 i _2 \ldots \ldots \text { (II) }$

After solving of equation $(I)$ and $(II)$

Then,

$16.5 \times 4 i _2-6 i _2=15$

$66 i _2-6 i _2=15$

$60 i _2=15$

$i _2=\frac{1}{4} A$

Now put the value of $i_2$ in equation $(I)$

$i_1=4 i_2$

$i_1=4 \times \frac{1}{4}$

$i_1=1\,\,A$

Now, the current from the battery in the circuit is $1\,\,A$.

In a typical Wheatstone network, the resistances in cyclic order are $A = 10 \,\Omega $, $B = 5 \,\Omega $, $C = 4 \,\Omega $ and $D = 4 \,\Omega $ for the bridge to be balanced
  • $10 \,\Omega $ should be connected in parallel with $A$
  • B
    $10 \,\Omega $ should be connected in series with $A$
  • C
    $5 \,\Omega $ should be connected in series with $B$
  • D
    $5 \,\Omega $ should be connected in parallel with $B$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$10 \,\Omega $ should be connected in parallel with $A$
a
For a balance Wheatstone bridge.

$\frac{A}{B} = \frac{D}{C} \Rightarrow \frac{{10}}{5} \ne \frac{4}{4}$ (Unbalanced)

$\frac{{A'}}{B} = \frac{D}{C} \Rightarrow \frac{{A'}}{5} = \frac{4}{4}$$ \Rightarrow $ $A' = 5\,\Omega $

$A'$ $(5\,\Omega )$ is obtained by connecting a $10\,\Omega $ resistance in parallel with $A$.
