A

The galvanometer shown a deflection when switch `S` is close

B

The galvanometer shows a deflection when switch `S` is open

C

The galvanometer showns no change in deflection whether `S`is open or closed

D

The galvanometer shows no deflection

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

(c ) In balance condition, no current will flow through the brach containing `S`.
