If the galvanometer G does not show any deflection in the circuit shown, the value of R is given by: [figure]
- 50
- 100
- 400
- 200
Answer
(2) 100
Solution
No current flows through G, so the 2 V cell branch carries no current and the p.d. across R equals 2 V.
Current in the 10 V loop: I = 10400 + R
IR = 10R400 + R = 2
10R = 800 + 2R
R = 100
