In an experiment of meter bridge, a null point is obtained at the centre of the bridge wire. When a resistance of $10\, ohm$ is connected in one gap, the value of resistance in other gap is ............. $\Omega$

A

$10$

B

$5$

C

$\frac{1}{5}$

D

$500$

Solution

(a) Wheatstone bridge is balanced, therefore

$\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{R}{S}$ or $1 = \frac{{10}}{S}$ $ \Rightarrow $ $S = 10\,ohm$

Figure $(i)$ below shows a Wheatstone's bridge in which $P, Q, R$ and $S$ are fixed resistances, $G$ is a galvanometer and $B$ is a battery. For this particular case, the galvanometer shows zero deflection. Now, only the positions of $B$ and $G$ are interchanged, as shown in figure $(ii)$. The new deflection of the galvanometer
