Dear experts , if the image is not visible then it doesn't matter. It was just a wheatstone bridge. Please , you can make a wheatstone bridge of your own, and then explain.I repeat , it is a balanced wheatstone bridge.

Its 0
That is how Wheatstones network is defined in the first place
also,
the 2 points of the galvanometer are basically EQUIPOTENTIAL Points....so as there is no P.D there is no current

when u r saying balanced wheatstone bridge, it means the galvanometer shows null deflection which means no current through galvanometer..

the position of the galvanometer??
if its the question when cell is replaced by the galvanometer...then the current trough galvanometer is zero...i couldn't prove it...i tried for quite a long time...but answer is surely 0....

Yes the current through the galvanometer in a balanced wheatstones bridge is ZERO

The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is

at all comprehensible.

In a Wheatstone Bridge Since the ratio of the resistors a same . therefore the current through the galvano is 0 . That means no current flows through the Galvanometer when the ratio of P:Q = R:S is same

But wat will be the current through the galvanometer if in original Wheatstone network...position of cell and galvanometer is interchanged....
i know it is 0...but i couldn't prove it...

In a balanced wheatstone bridge, galvanometer shows zero deflection. That's how the working of wheatstone bridge is explained. As the 2 points joining galvan. are equipotential hence no current flows through galvanometer.
