Will the position of the null point change if the galvanometer is replaced by another one of a different resistance in a wheatstone bridge?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The condition of blance i.e , `(P)/(Q)=(R)/(S)` does not depend on the resistance of the galvanometer . So , if a galvanometer of a different resistance is used ,the position of full point does not change . Of course the sensitivity of the bridge depends on the resistance of the galvanometer .
