Q.

The metre bridge shown is in balance position with PQ=l1l2. If we now interchange the positions of galvanometer and cell, will the bridge work If yes, what will be the balanced condition            [2019]

1 yes, PQ=l2-l1l2+l1  
2 no, no null point  
3 yes, PQ=l2l1  
4 yes, PQ=l1l2  

Ans.

(4)

Yes, the bridge will work. For a balanced condition, the current drawn from the battery will be zero. Also, Pl1 and Ql2. Therefore, the condition PQ=l1l2 will remain same after interchanging the cell and galvanometer.
