When current flows through a solenoid, the currents in the various turns of
the solenoid are parallel and in the same direction. Since the currents flowing
through parallel wires in the same direction lead to force of attraction

Page 5
 between them, the turns of the solenoid will also attract each other and as a
result,the solenoid tends to contract.

22. State Kirchhoff’s rules for an electric network. Using Kirchhoff’s rules, obtain the
balance condition in terms of the resistances of four arms of Wheat
sone bridge.

Ans. :
a. Kirchhoff’s Rule
i. At any junction, the sum of the currents entering the junction is
equal to the sum of the currents leaving the junction.
ii. The algebraic sum of the charges in potential around any closed
loop involving resistors and cells in the loop is zero.
Condition of balance of a Wheatstone bridge: The circuit diagram of
Wheatstone bridge is shown in fig.
P, Q, R and S are four resistance forming a closed bridge, called
Wheatstone bridge. A battery is connected across A and C, while a
galvanometer is connected between B and D. At balance, there is no
current in galvanometer.
Derivation of Formula: Let the current given by battery in the balanced
position be I. This current on reaching point A is divided into two parts I1
 and I2 . As there is no current in galvanometer in balanced state, current
in resistances P and Q is I1 and in resistances R and S it is I2 .
