Q.

If the galvanometer G does not show any deflection in the circuit shown, the value of R is given by         [2023]

1 100 Ω  
2 400 Ω  
3 200 Ω  
4 50 Ω  

Ans.

(1)

Since galvanometer shows no deflection, thus voltage across R is 2V.

Now, voltage across R is, V=10R400+R

or    2=10R400+R    R=100Ω
