In the circuit shown, if a conducting wire is connected between points A and B, the current in this wire will [figure]

  1. flow from B to A
  2. flow from A to B
  3. flow in the direction which will be decided by the value of V
  4. be zero

Answer

(1) flow from B to A

Solution

The long plate (positive terminal) of the battery is on the left, so take the left junction at potential V and the right junction at 0.

Upper arm (4 Ω + 4 Ω): VA = V - 44 + 4V = V2

Lower arm (1 Ω + 3 Ω): VB = V - 11 + 3V = 3V4

VB > VA (the bridge is unbalanced: 44 13)

current in the wire flows from B to A.

Answer: (1)
