Wheatstone Bridge & Metre Bridge

In the circuit shown in the figure, P≠RP \neq R. The reading of the galvanometer remains the same with switch ' SS ' open or closed. Then

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Reading unchanged with S open or closed means no current flows through S, so VB=VDV_B = V_D.
  2. At B (no current into S): IP=IQI_P = I_Q.
  3. At D (no current from S): current coming in through R goes out through G, so IR=IGI_R = I_G.
  4. So the answer is (c) IR=IGI_R = I_G.
