Question:

In the below circuit, the battery E1 has an emf of 12 V and zero internal resistance. While the battery E2 has an emf of 2 V.

If the galvanometer G reads zero, then the value of the resistance X in ohms is:

Options:

250

100

50

200

Correct Answer:

100

Explanation:

We have, I1 = 0

∴  VX = E2 = 2V

$\frac{V_{500 \Omega}}{V_{X}}=\frac{(12-2)}{2}=\frac{500}{X}$

∴  X = 100 Ω
