उत्तर
A meter bridge is balanced with a known resistance (R) in the left hand gap and an unknown resistance (S) in the right hand gap. Balance point is found to be at a distance of 1 cm from the left hand side. When the battery and the galvanometer are interchanged, balance point will remain same.
Explanation:
The balance point remains constant even if the galvanometer and batteries are switched out.
