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


- Aflow from B to A
- Bflow from A to B
- Cflow in the direction which will be decided by the value of V be zero.
- Dbe zero
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
Current will flow from B to A

Potential drop over the resistance CA 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.
