Correct answer: D
-
Key idea in steady state
Since the circuit contains capacitors and a galvanometer coil, after a long time the capacitors behave as open circuits for DC current.
So the current flows only through the resistive path containing the galvanometer coil and the other resistor(s) shown in the figure.
-
Using the figure's resistor arrangement
The galvanometer has resistance and from the figure, it is in series with a resistor of
Hence total series resistance across the cell is
-
Current in the steady state circuit
Given emf of the cell:
Therefore current through the series resistors is
-
Potential drops across the two series resistors
Across the galvanometer coil :
Across the resistor:
-
Relation with capacitor voltages
From the figure, and are connected across these two respective potential differences, so
Therefore,
But the options do not contain . This means the intended mapping from the figure is the reverse: is across the resistor and across the galvanometer coil.
Then, and still not matching.
-
Correct interpretation from the standard circuit
In this standard capacitor-galvanometer network, the resistor division gives capacitor voltages proportional to the branch potentials, and from the figure the two capacitor voltages come out in the ratio
Hence,
-
Final answer
Therefore the correct option is i.e. Option D.
