Question

How does the balancing condition get affected if you are interchanging the galvanometer and the cell in the Wheatstone bridge?

Short Answer

Solution

Interchanging the galvanometer and the cell in a Wheatstone bridge does not affect the balancing condition.

The bridge remains balanced when

`P/Q = R/S`

because this condition depends only on the resistance ratios, not on the positions of the galvanometer and the cell.
