3.9 Determine the current in each branch of the network shown in Fig. 3.30:
Figure 3.30
Current flowing through various branches of the circuit is represented in the given figure.
I1 = Current flowing through the outer circuit
I2 = Current flowing through branch AB
I3 = Current flowing through branch AD
I2 - I4 = Current flowing through branch BC
I3 + I4 = Current flowing through branch CD
I4 = Current flowing through branch BD
For the closed circuit ABDA, potential is zero i.e.,
For the closed circuit BCDB, potential is zero i.e.,
For the closed circuit ABCFEA, potential is zero i.e.,
From equations (1) and (2), we obtain
Putting equation (4) in equation (1), we obtain
It is evident from the figure that,
Putting equation (6) in equation (1), we obtain
Putting equations (4) and (5) in equation (7), we obtain
Equation (4) reduces to
Therefore, the current in branch in AB
The current in branch in BC
In branch CD
In branch AD
In branch BD
Total current
