The metre bridge shown is in balance position with
. If we now interchange the positions of galvanometer and cell, will the bridge work? If yes, what will be balance condition?

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
According to given condition for the balanced bridge connection, the relation between P, Q, l 1 and l 2 is 

Now, if we interchange the position, the relation for P, Q, l 1 and l 2 will be



As we can see from the above relation that on interchanging galvanometer and battery positions, the balance condition remains unchanged.
