$A$ $6 \, V$ battery of negligible internal resistance is connected across a uniform wire $AB$ of length $1 \, m$. The positive terminal of another battery of emf $4 \, V$ and internal resistance $1 \, \Omega$ is joined to point $A$ as shown in the figure. The ammeter shows zero deflection when the jockey touches the wire at point $C$. The length $AC$ is equal to:

  • A
    $2/3 \, m$
  • B
    $1/3 \, m$
  • C
    $3/5 \, m$
  • D
    $1/2 \, m$
