Homework Statement



problem---4
(5 marks) Obtain the current through the Galvanometer G, having a resistance of 14Ω, in
the Wheatstone bridge shown in Fig-4

Homework Equations



i know the delta-Y transformation and applied it, i found out the R (eq) to be 32.4675ohm

The Attempt at a Solution


I=V/R= 0.4927 A
someone please check the answer of problem no 4 and let me know if its right or wrong
regards

Doesn't look right to me.

If you apply a Δ-Y transformation, won't you transform-away the very resistor you wish to find the current through?
