  1. The four arms of a Wheatstone bridge have the following resistances:
AB = 50Ω, BC = 5Ω, CD = 2Ω, DA = 25Ω. A galvanometer of 10Ω resistance is connected across
BD. If a potential difference of 20V is maintained across AC, using Thevenin’s theorem, calculate the current through the galvanometer and draw the Thevenin and Norton Equivalent circuit

Considering the mesh ABDA, we have
100I1 + 15Ig – 60I2 = 0
or 20I1 + 3Ig – 12I2 = 0  ——(a)
Considering the mesh BCDB, we have
10 (I1 – Ig) – 5 (I2 + Ig) – 15Ig = 0
10I1 – 30Ig – 5I2 = 0
2I1 – 6Ig – I2 = 0 ——(b)
Considering the mesh ADCEA,
60I2 + 5 (I2 + Ig) = 10
65I2 + 5Ig = 10
13I2 + Ig = 2 ——(c)
Multiplying Eq. (b) by 10
20I1 – 60Ig – 10I2 = 0 ——(d)
From Eqs. (d) and (a) we have
63Ig – 2I2 = 0
I2 = 31.5Ig ——(e)
Substituting the value of I2 into Eq. [(c)], we get
13 (31.5Ig ) + Ig = 2
410.5 Ig = 2
Ig = 4.87 mA.
