Wheatstone's bridge

MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE

            ( WHEATSTONE’S BRIDGE)

Condition (1) :- MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE

AIM :-

You are given a Wheatstone bridge and other necessary instruments. Find the values of the unknown resistance Rx. Exchange the positions of unknown resistance and resistance box in the gaps of Wheatstone bridge and repeat the experiment.

PRINCIPLE :-

It works on the principle of balanced Wheatstone bridge.

Apparatus :-

Wheatstone-bridge (meter-bridge),

2 Volt Battery,

Rheostat,

Galvanometer,          

Jockey,

Key,

Resistance box(1 – 100  W),

Resistance coil.

Precautions

1. Make proper and tight connections.
2. Keep the keys tightly closed in the resistance box.
3. Adjust the value of resistance box so that null point is obtained between 40 cm and 60 cm.
4. Do not slide the jokey continuously over the wire. 

Note :-  Keep high resistance of rheostat in the beginning of each observation so that current is less and the galvanometer is not damaged. After getting approximate position of null point only decrease the resistance of rheostat.
