Current Electricity - Result Question 103

108. In the circuit shown, if a conducting wire is connected between points $A$ and $B$, the current in this wire will

[2006]

(a) flow in the direction which will be decided by the value of $V$

(b) be zero

(c) flow from $B$ to $A$

(d) flow from $A$ to $B$

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 108. (c)

Solution:

  1. (c) Current will flow from $B$ to $A$

Potential drop over the resistance $C A$ will be more due to higher value of resistance. So potential at A will be less as compared with at B. Hence, current will flow from $B$ to $A$.
