Finding the value of Rx
• Adjust R3 until there is no current in the detector

Delta-to-Wye (Pi-to-Tee) Equivalent Circuits
• In order for the Delta interconnection to be equivalent
to the Wye interconnection, the resistance between
corresponding terminal pairs must be the same

Nodal Analysis w/ “Floating Voltage Source”
A “floating” voltage source is one for which neither side is
connected to the reference node, e.g. VLL in the circuit below:
