Figure (a) below shows a Wheatstone bridge in which P, Q R, S are fixed resistances, \(G\) is a galvanometer, and \(B\) is a battery. For this particular case, the galvanometer shows zero deflection. Now, only the positions of \(B\) and \(G\) are interchanged. as shown in figure (b). The new deflection of the galvanometer:

          

1. is to the left
2. is to the right
3. is zero
4. depends on the values of P, Q, R, S

The resistances of the four arms \(P,Q,R~\text{and}~S\) in a Wheatstone’s bridge are \(10~\Omega,30~\Omega,30~\Omega\) and \(90~\Omega\) respectively. The emf and internal resistance of the cell are \(7~\text{volt}\) and \(5~\Omega\) respectively. If the galvanometer resistance is \(50~\Omega\) the current drawn from the cell will be:
1. \(0.2~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.1~\text{A}\)
3. \(2.0~\text{A}\)
4. \(1.0~\text{A}\)
