In the given arrangement of experiment on meter bridge, if \(A D\) corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is \(X\), what would be its value if the radius of the wire \(A B\) is doubled?

  1. A \(X\)
  2. B \(\frac{X}{4}\)
  3. C \(4 X\)
  4. D \(2 X\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(X\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a meter bridge, balancing length of the wire is independent of the area of cross-section of the wire.
So, if the radius of wire \(A B\) is doubled, the balancing length will still be \(X\) only.
