KIRCHHOFFS LAWS:
I Law or Current Law or Junction Rule:
The algebraic sum of electric currents at a junction in any
electrical network is always zero.

I1 - I2 - I3 + I4 - I5 = 0
Sign Conventions:
1. The incoming currents towards the junction are taken positive.
2. The outgoing currents away from the junction are taken negative.
Note: The charges cannot accumulate at a junction. The number
of charges that arrive at a junction in a given time must leave in
the same time in accordance with conservation of charges.
II Law or Voltage Law or Loop Rule:
The algebraic sum of all the potential drops and emfs along any
closed path in an electrical network is always zero.
Sign Conventions:
1. The emf is taken negative when we traverse from positive to negative
terminal of the cell through the electrolyte.
2. The emf is taken positive when we traverse from negative to positive
terminal of the cell through the electrolyte.
The potential falls along the direction of current in a current path
and it rises along the direction opposite to the current path.
3. The potential fall is taken negative.
4. The potential rise is taken positive.

Currents through the arms are assumed by
applying Kirchhoffs Junction Rule.
Applying Kirchhoffs Loop Rule for:
When Ig = 0, the bridge is said to balanced.
By manipulating the above equations, we get

Metre Bridge is based
on the principle of
Wheatstone Bridge.
When the galvanometer

adjusting the jockey

values of known and
unknown resistances,

Principle:

If the constant current flows
through the potentiometer wire
of uniform cross sectional area
(A) and uniform composition
of material (), then

V /l is a constant.
The potential difference across any length of a wire
of uniform cross-section and uniform composition is
proportional to its length when a constant current
flows through it.

Comparison of emfs using
Potentiometer:
The balance point is
obtained for the cell when
the potential at a point on
the potentiometer wire is
equal and opposite to the
emf of the cell.
E1 = VAJ1
= I l1 /A
E2 = VAJ2
= I l2 /A
E1 / E2 = l1 /l2
Note:
The balance point will not be obtained on the potentiometer wire if the fall
of potential along the potentiometer wire is less than the emf of the cell to
be measured.
The working of the potentiometer is based on null deflection method. So
the resistance of the wire becomes infinite. Thus potentiometer can be
regarded as an ideal voltmeter.
