(a) In a metre bridge [Fig.], the balance point is found to be at 39.5 cm from the end A, when the resistor Y is of 12.5 . Detere the resistance of X. Why are the connections between resistors in a Wheat stone or meter bridge made of thick copper strips?(b) Detere the balance point of the bridge above if X and Y are interchanged.
(c) What happens if the galvanometer and cell are interchanged at the balance point of the bridge? Would the galvanometer show any current?

(a) condition for balanced wheatstone bridge,


To minimize the resistance which is not taken into formula.

(b) if X and Y are interchanged then balance of bridge will be at from A.

(c) Since the bridge is balanced, there will be no difference if position of cell and galvanometer are interchanged as there will be no flow of current from galvanometer.
