  • A
    $R = 0$
  • B
    $R = 8\,\Omega$
  • C
    power dissipated in the $2\,\Omega$ resistor is $72\,W$.

The two ends of a uniform conductor are joined to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $E$ and some internal resistance. Starting from the midpoint $P$ of the conductor,we move in the direction of current and return to $P$. The potential $V$ at every point on the path is plotted against the distance covered $(x)$. Which of the following graphs best represents the resulting curve?
