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?

- A \(X\)
- B \(\frac{X}{4}\)
- C \(4 X\)
- D \(2 X\)
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.
So, if the radius of wire \(A B\) is doubled, the balancing length will still be \(X\) only.
