Even if the radius of wire is doubled, the balancing point would not change asl−xx=R2R1 , which is independent of area in case of uniform wire. Thus, the balancing length remains the same i.e., 40cm.
In the given figure of meter bridge experiment, the balancing length AC corresponding to null deflection of the galvanometer is 40 cm. The balancing…
