Use Kirchhoff's rules to obtain conditions for the balance condition in a Wheatstone bridge.

A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltmeter to measure upto V volts by connecting a resistance R₁ in series with the coil. If a resistance R₂ is connected in series with it, then it can measures upto V/2 volts. Find the resistance, in terms of R₁ and R₂, required to be connected to convert it into a voltmeter that can read upto 2 V. Also find the resistance G of the galvanometer in terms of R₁ and R₂

Use this law to obtain the expression for the magnetic field inside an air cored toroid of average radius 'r', having 'n' turns per unit length and carrying a steady current I.

An observer to the left of a solenoid of N turns each of cross section area 'A' observes that a steady current I in it flows in the clockwise direction. Depict the magnetic field lines due to the solenoid specifying its polarity and show that it acts as a bar magnet of magnetic moment m = NIA.

Two long coaxial insulated solenoids, S₁ and S₂ of equal lengths are wound one over the other as shown in the figure. A steady current "I" flow thought the inner solenoid S₁ to the other end B, which is connected to the outer solenoid S₂ through which the same current "I" flows in the opposite direction so as to come out at end A. If n₁ and n₂ are the number of turns per unit length, find the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field at a point (i) inside on the axis and (ii) outside the combined system
