Q124 / 200 · NEET 2023 (All India) · Physics

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

Figure

  • A
    400 Ω
  • B
    200 Ω
  • C
    50 Ω
  • Correct answer
    D
    100 Ω

Solution

Figure

As given in the question,

Ig=0

Potential drop across R will be equal to 2 V.

Now, current through the left circuit can be written as,

I=10400+R.

Therefore, potential drop across R will be,

VR=IR⇒2=10R400+R⇒800+2R=10R⇒R=100 Ω

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
