Quiz 8

( questions 1 and 2 are of 0.5 points each, question 3 is of 1 point)

1. Kirchhoffs Current Law is applicable to only:

a) Close looped Networks.
b) Electronics Circuits.
c) Electrical Circuits.
d) Junctions in a network.
2. According to KVL the algebraic sum of all the IR drops and Emfs in any closed
loop of a network:
a) Dependent on the total voltage supplied.
b) Varies according to the type on circuit.
c) is always positive,
d) is equal to zero.
3. The figure below shows a very famous circuit configuration called the
Wheatstone Bridge.
From Wikipedia: A Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit used to measure an
unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of
which includes the unknown component. The primary benefit of a wheatstone
bridge is its ability to provide extremely accurate measurements (in contrast with
something like a simple voltage divider).

Assume that the current through RL is zero (this is called balancing the wheatstone
bridge) and do the following:
a. Write the Kirchoff's Current Law (KCL) for all the junctions in the circuit. (not
required to solve)

b. Write the Kirchoff's Voltage Law (KVL) for the three loops in the circuit. (not
required to solve)
