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 the 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 \(7~\text{V}\) 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. \(1.0~\text{A}\)
