Question
Determine the current flowing through the galvanometer (G) as shown in the figure.
Solution
I2 = I – I1
Current flowing through the circuit I = 2A
Applying Kirchhoffs II law to PQSP
5I1 + 10Ig – 15I2 = 0
5I1 + 10Ig – 15(I – I1) = 0
5I1 + 10Ig – 15I + 15I1 = 0
20I1 + 10Ig = 15 × I
20I1 + 10Ig = 30
2I1 + Ig = 3 ………..(1)
Applying Kirchhoffs II law to QRSQ
10(I1 – Ig) – 20 (I2 + Ig) – 10 Ig = 0
10I1 – 10 Ig – 20 (I – I1 + Ig) – 10 Ig = 0
10I1 – 10 Ig – 20I + 20I1 – 20Ig – 10Ig = 0
30I1 – 40Ig = 20I
30I1 – 40Ig = 20 × 2
3I1 – 4Ig = 4 ………..(2)
(1) × 3 ⇒ 6I1 + 3Ig = 9 …………..(3)
(2) × 2 ⇒ 6I1 – 8Ig = 8 ……………(4)
Solving (3) and (4)
+ 11 Ig = 1
Ig = `1/11`A
