AI Generated Solution

To understand why the galvanometer shows no deflection when the galvanometer and the cell are interchanged in a meter bridge that is already in a balanced condition, let's break down the explanation step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Meter Bridge Setup**: - A meter bridge consists of a wire of uniform resistance arranged in a bridge configuration with two gaps where resistors can be connected. - The galvanometer is connected between two points (let's say C and D), and a cell (battery) is connected between the other two points (A and B). ...
