Star-Delta Circuit: Measuring Current with 6R Resistor

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the implications of replacing a 6R resistor with a galvanometer of the same internal resistance in a Star-Delta circuit. When a 1 A current source is connected, the current through the 6R resistor is calculated to be 1/34 R. The analysis employs Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) to derive the current values in the circuit's loops.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Star-Delta circuit configurations
  • Knowledge of Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL)
  • Familiarity with Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL)
  • Basic principles of galvanometers and internal resistance
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the principles of Star-Delta circuit analysis
  • Learn about the application of Kirchhoff's Laws in electrical circuits
  • Explore the characteristics and applications of galvanometers
  • Investigate current measurement techniques in electrical engineering
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, students studying circuit analysis, and professionals involved in designing or analyzing Star-Delta circuits.

sorry...i don't know how to post the pic here...juz want to know if 6R resistor is replaced by a galvanometer which has the internal resistance 6R,what will be the reading?

It depends on the voltage (current ) source connected to the circuit.

Let's say you plug a 1 A source to the entire circuit

I found out solving for the entire thing that the current trough the resistor of 6R is 1/34 R

I wrote KVL for each mini loop, and then wrote KCL at the top, at the bottom and in b). then solved for each current.
