Question

In the circuit shown below, the cell is ideal,

with emf $=2V$. The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer $G$ is $1\Omega$. Then
(1) $0.2A$ current flows in $G$
(2) potential difference across $C_1$ is $1V$
(3) potential difference across $C_2$ is $1.2V$
(4) no current flows in $G$

• A. 1, 2 and 3 are correct
• B. 1 and 2 are correct
• C. 2 and 4 are correct
• D. 1 and 3 are correct

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Disregard the capacitors and find the current through $G$. The potential difference across each capacitor is then found from the potential difference across the resistances in parallel with them.
