Question
Assertion : In meter bridge experiment, a high resistance is always connected in series with a galvanometer.
Reason : As resistance increases current through the circuit increases.
✓

Answer

(c) The resistance of the galvanometer is fixed. In meter bridge experiments, to protect the galvanometer from a high current, high resistance is connected to the galvanometer in order to protect it from damage.
