In the circuit shown, if a conducting wire is connected between point s A and^B, the current in this wire willsss

a
flow from A to B
b
flow in the direction which will be decided by the value of V
c
be zero
d
flow from B to A

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Current will flow from higher to lower potential.Before connecting wire from A to B, voltage drop across 4  Ω =  V ×  44+4 =V2Voltage drop across 1  Ω =  V ×  11+3 =V4∴     voltage drop at  A=V−V2=V2  and voltage drop at B=V−V4=3V4So, VB > VAHence, on connecting wire between points A and B, the current will flow from B to A.
