The correct Answer is:
To solve the assertion and reason question regarding the Wheatstone bridge, we will analyze both statements step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Assertion The assertion states: "When a Wheatstone bridge is balanced, then the current through the cell depends on the resistance of the galvanometer." **Analysis**: In a balanced Wheatstone bridge, the potential difference across the galvanometer is zero. This means that no current flows through the galvanometer. The current through the cell is determined by the resistances in the bridge circuit, not by the galvanometer. Therefore, the assertion is **false**. ### Step 2: Understanding the Reason The reason states: "At balanced condition, current through the galvanometer is very high." **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect because, at the balanced condition of a Wheatstone bridge, the current through the galvanometer is actually zero. When the bridge is balanced, the potential difference across the galvanometer is zero, leading to no current flow. Thus, the reason is also **false**. ### Conclusion Since both the assertion and the reason are false, the correct answer to the question is that both statements are incorrect. ### Final Answer Both the assertion and the reason are false. ---
