In a meter bridge, the point D is a neutral point (figure). (a) The meter bridge can have no other neutral. A point for this set of resistances. (b) When the jockey contacts a point on meter wire left of D, current flows to B from the wire (c) When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to the right of D, current flows from B to the wire through galvanometer (d) When R is increased, the neutral point shifts to left

Answer – (a, c)
Explanation- In case of meter bridge, the resistance wire AC is 100 cm long. Varying the position of tapping point B, bridge is balanced. If in balanced position of bridge AB = l, BC = (100 – l) so that Q/P= (100-l)/l. Also P/Q=R/S=>S= (100-l)/l R When there is no deflection in galvanometer there is no current across the galvanometer, then points B and D are at same potential. That point at which galvanometer shows no deflection is called null point, then potential at B and neutral point D are same. When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to

That point at which galvanometer shows no deflection is called null point, then potential at B and neutral point D are same. When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to the right of D, the potential drop across AD is more than potential drop across AB, which brings the potential of point D less than that of B, hence current flows from B to D in the galvanometer wire.

According to this chapter, a galvanometer is used to find and measure the small electric currents in a circuit. The principle that works in a galvanometer is the electromagnetic induction.
There are two types of electricity - Static and Current electricity. The electric charges buildup on a material's surface is called the static electricity. The continuous flow of electric charge is termed as the current electricity. Current electricity is of two types - Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC). In AC, the charge direction reverses periodically and in DC, charge flows in one direction.
In simple words, current electricity can be defined as the electric charge continuously moving from one place to another along a pathway. It is measured in amperes (A). Electric current is needed for electrical devices to work.
No, in fact, it is one of the easiest chapter of class 12 Physics. Other chapters which are considered comparatively easy are Ray Optics and Electric Charges and Fields.
