  1. A \(200 \Omega\)
  2. B \(100 \Omega\)
  3. C \(500 \Omega\)
  4. D \(1000 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(100 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

B
image
As galvanometer shows zero deflection, current flowing through \(500 \Omega\) and \(R \Omega\) will be same and potential difference across R will be 2 V .
Current passing through circuit
\(I=\frac{12}{500+R}\)
Voltage across \(R\)
\(\begin{aligned} V = IR \\ \therefore 2 =\left(\frac{12}{500+ R }\right) R \\ \therefore 1000+2 R =12 R \\ \therefore 1000 =10 R \\ \therefore R =100 \Omega\end{aligned}\)
