Transcribed Image Text:### Wheatstone Bridge Circuit Diagram
The diagram represents a Wheatstone Bridge, an electrical circuit used to precisely measure an unknown resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit. The primary components and paths are described below:
- **Resistances:**
- \( R_{AB} \): Resistance between points A and B.
- \( R_{BC} \): Resistance between points B and C.
- \( R_{CD} \): Resistance between points C and D.
- \( R_{AD} \): Resistance between points A and D.
- \( R_G \): Galvanometer resistance between points B and D.
- **Current Paths:**
- \( I_1 \): Current flowing from point A to point B through resistance \( R_{AB} \).
- \( I_2 \): Current flowing from point A to point D through resistance \( R_{AD} \).
- \( I_3 \): Current flowing through the galvanometer \( G \) between points B and D.
- **Key Points:**
- **A, B, C, D**: Junction points in the circuit.
- **H**: Junction point for galvanometer connection.
- **G**: Galvanometer at point H for detecting current.
- **Circuit Path:**
- The power source provides voltage \( V_o \) between points F and K, with the positive terminal at F and negative at K.
This setup is typically used to find the unknown resistance by adjusting until the galvanometer shows no current (\( I_3 = 0 \)), indicating a balanced bridge where \( \frac{R_{AB}}{R_{BC}} = \frac{R_{AD}}{R_{CD}} \).

Transcribed Image Text:Use Kirchhoff’s junction rule and voltage/loop rule to find the current through each resistor in the following circuit: \( R_{AB} = 10 \, \Omega \), \( R_{BC} = 15 \, \Omega \), \( R_{AD} = 6 \, \Omega \), \( R_{CD} = 12 \, \Omega \), \( R_{G} = 4 \, \Omega \), and \( V_o = 10 \, \text{V} \).
