NEET (UG) 2023 — Question 10

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

Question figure

Option A:
$50 \Omega$
Option B:
$100 \Omega$
Correct
Option C:
$400 \Omega$
Option D:
$200 \Omega$

Answer: B

Step-by-step solution

Since galvanometer does not show any deflection $\Rightarrow i_g=0$

\frac{10-2}{400}=\frac{2}{R} \Rightarrow R=\frac{2 \times 400}{8}=100 \Omega
