In the network shown cell of emf E has internal resistance r and the galvanometer shows zero deflection. If the cell is replaced by a new cell of emf 2E and internal resistance 3r keeping everything else identical then

  1. A The galvanometer will show deflection of 10 divisions.
  2. B The galvanometer show zero deflection,
  3. C Current will flow from B to A.
  4. D Current will flow from A to B.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) The galvanometer show zero deflection,

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In given circuit diagram, galvanometer shows zero deflection, hence it is a Wheatstone balanced circuit.
Hence, VA=VB
On replacing a new cell of emf 2E and internal resistance 3r, no effect occurs on balanced condition of bridge, i.e., VA=VB .
Hence, the galvanometer will shows zero deflection.
