JEE Advanced · Physics · 19. Current Electricity

Two resistances R1=X Ω and R2=1 Ω are connected to a wire AB of uniform resistivity, as shown in the figure. The radius of the wire varies linearly along its axis from 0.2 mm at A to 1 mm at B. A galvanometer G connected to the center of the wire, 50 cm from each end along its axis, shows zero deflection when A and B are connected to a battery. The value of X is _______.

  1. A 1
  2. B 3
  3. C 5
  4. D 7
