What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge ? Would the galvanometer show any current ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In figure (1), Wheatstone bridge is in the balanced condition and so galvanometer does not show any deflection because no current passes through it.
In figure (2), also Wheatstone bridge is in the balanced condition and so galvanometer does not show any deflection because no current passes through it.
