Two cells of emfs E_1 and E_2 and of negligibleinternal resistances are connected with two variable resistors as shown in Fig. A2.4. When the galvanometer shows no deflection, the values of the resistances are P and Q. What is the value of the ratio E_2/E_1?

Answer»

`P/Q`
`P/(P+Q)`
`Q/(P+Q)`
`(P+Q)/P`

Solution :b. POTENTIAL difference `V_P` across P as DETERMINED from `E_1` id GIVEN
by `V_P = (E_1/(P+Q))P.`
Potential `V_P` across P as determined from `E_2` is same as `E_2`
because no current is drawn, i.e., `V_P = E_2`
Therefore,
`E_2 = E_1(P/(P+Q)) or E_2//E_1 = (P/(P+Q))` .
