38 Arrive at the condition for balance of a Wheatstone’s network using Kirchhoff’s rules.

The following circuit show a Wheatstone’s network

Applying KVL to loop ABDA, 1

−𝐼1 𝑅1 − 𝐼𝑔 𝐺 + 𝐼2 𝑅2 = 0
Applying KVL to loop BCDB,
−(𝐼1 − 𝐼𝑔 )𝑅3 + (𝐼2 + 𝐼𝑔 )𝑅4 + 𝐼𝑔 𝐺 = 0 1

When the network is balanced, the current through the galvanometer is zero (or 𝐼𝑔 = 0). 1
Then, we have:
−𝐼1 𝑅1 + 𝐼2 𝑅2 = 0 ⟹ 𝐼1 𝑅1 = 𝐼2 𝑅2
−𝐼1 𝑅3 + 𝐼2 𝑅4 = 0 ⟹ 𝐼1 𝑅3 = 𝐼2 𝑅4

39 Obtain the expression for the force per unit length between two infinitely long straight
parallel current carrying conductors placed in vacuum. Hence define the unit ‘ampere’.
Consider two infinitely long straight parallel conductors a and b separated by a distance d.
The current through them respectively are Ia and Ib. Let us consider a section L of the wire b.

The magnetic field due to wire a at the position of wire b is:

𝜇𝑜 𝐼𝑎
𝐵𝑎 =
2𝜋𝑑
The force on the section of wire b due to wire a is:
𝜇𝑜 𝐼𝑎 𝐼𝑏 1
𝐹𝑏 = 𝐼𝑏 𝐿𝐵𝑎 sin 𝜃 = 𝐿
2𝜋𝑑
towards wire a.
We can see that a similar section of wire a experiences an equal and opposite force due to wire

b. Therefore, 𝐹𝑎 = 𝐹𝑏 = 𝐹, the force between the wires.
Hence, force per unit length between the wires is:
𝐹 𝜇𝑜 𝐼𝑎 𝐼𝑏
𝑓= =

The ampere is the value of that steady current which, when maintained in each of the two very
long, straight, parallel conductors of negligible cross-section, and placed one metre apart in
vacuum, would produce on each of these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10–7 newtons per
metre of length. 1
