When the voltage between A and B is equal zero .
Then the voltage for R1 is equal to the voltage for R2
I1 R1 = I 2 R 2 (1) I3 R3 = I4 R4 (2)

I Galvanometer is equal zero then
I1 = I3 , I2= I4 (3)Divide (1)/(I2 2)

We can calculate Vth and rth by the following:
* First Vth : Using voltage Kirchhoff law Vth =V1 − V2 = I1 R1 − I2 R2
