Question

Determine the current flowing through the galvanometer (G) as shown in the figure.

Numerical

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
