  2. B45\dfrac{4}{5}
  3. C54\dfrac{5}{4}
  4. D34\dfrac{3}{4}

Correct answer

B. 45\dfrac{4}{5}

Step-by-step solution

In this figure the resistance of the coil of galvanometer G is 2 Ω . The emf of the cell is 4V . The ratio of potential

Current flowing through both capacitors will be zero at steady state.

The potential difference across capacitor C1{C}_{1} will be the sum of the potential difference across the resistor 6Ω6Ω and the galvanometer resistance. Mathematically,

VC1=i[6Ω+RG]...(1){V}_{{C}_{1}} = i\left[6 Ω + {R}_{G}\right] . . . \left(1\right)

Similarly, the potential difference across capacitor C2{C}_{2} will be the sum of the potential difference across the resistor 8Ω8Ω and the galvanometer resistance. Mathematically,

VC2=i[RG+8Ω]...(2){V}_{{C}_{2}} = i\left[{R}_{G} + 8 Ω\right] . . . \left(2\right)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) to obtain the required ratio.

{VC1VC2=i[6Ω+RG]i[RG+8Ω]=6Ω+2Ω2Ω+8Ω=45\begin{cases}\dfrac{{V}_{{C}_{1}}}{{V}_{{C}_{2}}} & = & \dfrac{i\left[6 Ω + {R}_{G}\right]}{i\left[{R}_{G} + 8Ω\right]} \\ & = & \dfrac{6 Ω + 2Ω}{2Ω + 8Ω} \\ & = & \dfrac{4}{5}\end{cases}
