(b) In general, if the arrangement is not balanced, there will be a potential difference across the galvanometer, $G.$ This will only be zero means balance when the $p.d.$ of the wire between the $+ve$ end of battery to jockey becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the experimental cell.

    Four ammeters with identical internal resistances $r$ and a resistor of resistance $R$ are connected to a current source as shown in figure. It is known that the reading of the ammeter $A_1$ is $I_1 = 3\ A$ and the reading of the ammeter $A_2$ is $I_2 = 5\ A$ . Determine the ratio of the resistances $R/r$ .
