When this happen the parallelnetwork is said to be unbalanced as the
voltage at point b is at different value to the voltageat point c.
Something else equally as important is that the voltage difference between
point b and point c will be zerovolts as both points are at the same value.
When this happens, both sides of the parallelbridge network are said to
be balanced.
In balanced conditionthe numerator of the function equal to zero.
