The firgure shows a circuit diagram of a 'Wheatstone Bridge' to measure the resistance `G` of the galvanometer The relation `(P)/(Q) = (R )/(G)` will be satisfied only when

A

The galvanometer shows a deflection when switch S is closed

B

The galvanometer shows a deflection when switch S is open

C

The galvanometer shows no change in deflection whether S is open or closed

D

The galvanometer shows no deflection

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

This is a balanced bridge, no current flow through the branch containing S.
