Solve the following using the DC Bridges method. Write your answer and solution after
each question

1. In a Wheatstone bridge resistance R1 = 30 kohms, R2 = 40 kohms and R3 = 90 kohms.

Determine the unknown resistance RX

2. In a Kelvin double bridge, there is error due to mismatch between the ratio of outer and
inner arm resistances. The following data relates to this bridge,

• Standard resistance = 99 micro-ohms

• Inner arms = 98ohms and 200 ohms

• Outer arms = 99.05 ohms and 200 ohms

The resistance of connecting leads from standard to unknown resistance is 680 micro-
ohms. Determine the value of unknown resistance
3. In a measurement of resistance by potentiometer, the voltage drops across a resistor
under test and across 0.035 ohms standard resistors were found to be 0.992 V and 1.5
V respectively.

Calculate: The value of resistor under test.

4. The ammeter-voltmeter method is used to measure the of an aircraft instrument

resistance. With the voltmeter connected across the resistance, the readings on the
ammeter and voltmeter are 0.5 A and 2.5 V respectively. The resistance of the voltmeter
is 450 ohms.
Calculate: the true value of resistance and percentage error in the value of resistance, if
the voltmeter current is ignored.
