Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 577

Question: The battery $ E $ has an $ e.m.f. $ of $ 2,volt $ . If the galvanometer $ G $ reads zero, then the value of the resistance $ X $ in ohm is

[NCERT 1990; AIEEE 2005]

Options:

A) 10

B) 100

C) 500

D) 200

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

For no current through galvanometer, we have $ ( \frac{E _{1}}{500+X} )X=E $

Therefore $ ( \frac{12}{500+X} )X=2 $

Therefore $ X=100\Omega $
