46. Ans. (c) The above network is symmetrical and so the
47. Ans (b) current incoming at a node gets divided equally
10  5 among the outgoing branches.

Thus the given circuit represents a bridge circuit.
The current through RL will be zero when the 5

 R 
A
The current through both the wires is I. So, heat
produced in the wire will depend upon the
resistance and the resistance of thiner wire will
be higher. So, more heat is dissipated in the Wheatstone bridge is balance so Cab = 0.1 F
thiner wire. 
Therefore, assertion is false but reason is true.
