All the resistance in the given Wheatstone bridge have different values and the current through the galvanometer is zero. The current through the galvanometer will still be zero if,

A

the emf of the battery is doubled

B

all resistance are doubled

C

resistances `R_1 and R_2` are interchanged

D

the battery and the galvanometer are interchanged.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, D

a., b., d.
If `R_1//R_2 = R_3//R_4`, there will be no current through galvanometer
If emf of battery of double, there will not be any charge is
situation i.e., `(R_1//R_2 = R_3//R_4)`. Even if all the resistances
are doubled, the ratio remains same. If the positions of the
galvanometer and battery si interchanged, the ratio `R_1 //R_3 = R_2//R_4`
will remains same.
