In the given potentiometer circuit,the resistance of the potentiometer wire $AB$ is $R_0$. $C$ is a cell of internal resistance $r$. The galvanometer $G$ does not give zero deflection for any position of the jockey $J$. Which of the following cannot be a reason for this?

  • A
    $r > R_0$
  • B
    $R >> R_0$
  • C
    $emf$ of $C > emf$ of $D$
  • D
    The negative terminal of $C$ is connected to $A$.
