8. Find the Thevenin Equivalent of the circuit of fig. 1.8 with respect to the terminals ‘a’ and ‘b’.
Show that the RTh can be obtained in this case without calculating the Isc, by nulling the
independent sources.
9. A Wheatstone bridge, shown in Fig. 1.9, is balanced (no Galvanometer current) when R2=3kΩ
(This resistance come with a tolerance of 0.1%). If the galvanometer has a resistance of 50Ω,
how much current will the galvanometer detect when the bridge is unbalanced, by having R2 off
by 0.1%? (Hint: Find the Thevenin equivalent with respect to the galvanometer terminals when
R’2 is now 1.001xR2.) 43Io
