A Wheatstone bridge with four resistors gives zero galvanometer deflection. This is called what?
ABalance condition
BShort circuit
CResonance point
DSaturation point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Balance condition
When the galvanometer shows no deflection the bridge is balanced and the four resistances satisfy a fixed ratio.
