1. How is the operation of Wheatstone bridge affected by changes in the input power
supply voltage? Would there be an advantage in using a higher voltage?
Answer:
A Wheatstone bridge is a means of seeing a small voltage variation which is on top of larger
voltage. That’s why it’s a balanced bridge. The bridge basically takes out the large voltage so
only the small change is seen. It is completely immune to power supply variation so higher or
lower power supplies makes no difference.
3. How much voltage needs to be dropped across resistor R1 in order to make voltage VAB
equal to zero (as shown in Fig. 6.2)?How much resistance must R1 possess in order to
drop that amount of voltage?
The Potential drop between A and B will be zero when the above circuit is balanced.
R1/10=60/30
R1=60/30*10
R1=20k Ω
4. Is it possible to find the current through a branch or to find a voltage across the branch
using Wye-Delta/ Delta-Wye conversions only? If so, justify your answer.
Answer:
Current cannot be measured through a branch as it flows through the resistor. However, voltage
can be measured across the branch but for different cases for both series and parallel and neither
one of them.
5. Find the value of 𝑹𝒆𝒒 for the circuit given below when the switch is open and when the
switch is closed?
Figure 5
R1= 1/10+1/10+1/5=5/2
R2=1/10+1/10+1/10=10/3
Req=1/R1+1/R2
Req=2/5+3/10=10/7
