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

To solve this problem, we will use the concept of a balanced Wheatstone bridge.Given:• A 10 V battery in series with a 400 resistor.• A 2 V battery in parallel with resistor • Galvanometer G shows no deflection, indicating no current through it.When the galvanometer shows no deflection, the potential difference across it is zero.This means the potential at both ends of the galvanometer is the same.Let's denote:• as the potential at the junction of the 10 V battery and the 400 resistor.• as the potential at the junction of the 2 V battery and resistor Since the galvanometer shows no deflection:Calculate where is the current through the 400 resistor.Calculate Since Solve for ANow, calculate the voltage drop across Since the potential difference across the galvanometer is zero:Substitute the known values:Solve for Therefore, the value of is . This corresponds to Option 3.
