Topics in Current Electricity
Kirchhoff's Laws
- Junction (Node): Point where two or more conductors meet
- Loop (Mesh): Any closed conducting path in a circuit
- Branch: Part of circuit between two junctions
Wheatstone Bridge
- Four resistors P, Q, R, S arranged in quadrilateral form
- Battery connected across one diagonal (AC)
- Galvanometer connected across other diagonal (BD)
Potentiometer
- Consists of long uniform wire with constant current
- Potential gradient K = V/L (constant along wire)
- Acts as ideal voltmeter (draws no current at balance)
Galvanometer and Its Conversions
- Detects small currents (typically μA to mA range)
- Has moderate resistance (~100Ω) and limited current capacity
- Conversion to ammeter: Add low resistance shunt in parallel
