Question

How do I apply kirchhoff's laws when there is no battery connected across the points between which we want to find the equivalent resistance or problems like that what approach should I take?

Open in App

Solution

If there is no battery connected across the circuit then there is no need to apply kirchoffs law to get equivalent resistance. Directly apply the formula by taking series and parallel resistances seperately and it would be easy to solve the problem. If there is no EMF source in the cicuit actually the problem is a lot easier.

Q. There are so many problems in integration where we can solve it by using many methods. But there are also other problems which can only be solved using a particular method. I get confused when I see the problem as to how I should solve it. Is there any way through which we can make out which method should be used to solve the problem. Or is practice the only way of attaining that mastery???

We know that Ohm Law is V = IR

PROBLEM -

Suppose I take a conducting Rod and let us say that it's one end is A and other is B. Suppose I give a potential difference at A of quantity V and initally my rod resistance is R when the length of rod is L.

What will happen to V and I if I increase the resistance of rod by increasing or decreasing length?

To balance the equation V = I R who will change the value V or I.

MY APPROACH---

What I think is that V can't change since it is a constantly given by source (assumed) so I think value of I will decrease.

This question is borned out of my mind so I also do not know ''Is questions I have uploaded is meaningless?'

Help me in finding correct answer.

In my problem there is no image because I don't think it is necessary and I have assumed a constant temperature.
