CBSEENPH12039686

In the circuit, the galvanometer G shows zero deflection. If the batteries A and B have negligible internal resistance, the value of the resistor R will be

  • 200Ω

  • 100Ω

  • 500 Ω

  • 1000 Ω

Solution

B.

100Ω

The potential drop across the resistance R is 2V. Now, no current flows through the galvanometer .and if V1 is the potential drop across the resistor R and V is the total potential then
fraction numerator VR over denominator 500 space plus straight R space end fraction space space equals space straight V subscript 1

fraction numerator 12 space straight R over denominator 500 space plus straight R space end fraction space equals space 2
space equals space 100 space ohm
