Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 228

Question: AB is a wire of uniform resistance. The galvanometer G shows no current when the length AC = 20cm and CB = 80 cm. The resistance R is equal to

[MP PMT 1995; RPET 2001]

Options:

A) $ 2,\Omega $

B) $ 8,\Omega $

C) $ 20,\Omega $

D) $ 40,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

By Wheatstone bridge, $ \frac{R}{80}=\frac{AC}{BC}=\frac{20}{80} $

Therefore $ R=20,\Omega $
