Interchanging the terminals of a four-probe setup generally poses no issues if the jack sizes and wire resistances are identical. However, confusion may arise due to color coding of the wires, which is intended to prevent incorrect connections. It is advisable to avoid interchanging the terminals unless absolutely necessary. Maintaining the original configuration ensures clarity and accuracy in measurements. Therefore, sticking to the standard connections is recommended for optimal results.

Will there be any problem if we interchange the terminals of the four probe?

Are you talking about an ohmmeter?
 
If the jack sizes are the same, and if the wire resistance is the same, there should be no problem. However, since multiple wires are often color coded on purpose, it could get confusing on what to connect those wires to after inserted in that way.
So, unless you "have" to do it, I wouldn't.
 

Thread 'Reference frames, center of rotation, etc'

Topic about reference frames, center of rotation, postion of origin etc Comoving ref. frame is frame that is attached to moving object, does that mean, in that frame translation and rotation of object is zero, because origin and axes(x,y,z) are fixed to object? Is it same if you place origin of frame at object center of mass or at object tail? What type of comoving frame exist? What is lab frame? If we talk about center of rotation do we always need to specified from what frame we observe?
