Options:
  • A The galvanometer will show deflection of 10 divisions.
  • B The galvanometer show zero deflection,
  • C Current will flow from B to A.
  • D Current will flow from A to B.

The correct answer is: The galvanometer show zero deflection,
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.
