During measureiment tead resistance-effects are compensated -Due to ‘reason this bridge is popularly used to measure low resistancas than this Procedui ) Make the connections as per the circuit diagram 2) Keep the range switch T in X1 and switch 2 in X 001 postion and eial3 in X 0.0001 postion 3) By varying the resistance R, adjust the current in th bridge circuit 4) Obtain he balance point onthe galvanometer by proportionally adjusting the Range switch 1 and switch 2 and dial3 note down the readings '5) Repeat step 3 and 4 for minimum three times. 6) Calculate the resistance of given ammeter shun resistor. Precautions: 1) In order to protect the galvanometer a high resistance is connected in series with it initially and then resistance is graduslly decreased es the balance pointy approached. ° Observations & Calculations: 3) 0-1 Ampere range [Sao] Current] Ratio ofvange [Reading on Dil] Reading on | Resistance] [Poem | (Amps) | switen(M) sR) Dial 3%) | _x=mcR+n)_| sg ou. od o c oy Loo o-oef 0 7 | | pe | “toa” le xte-t0? 0 ort 0.8 | ‘too 06 ° 0:6 | Boon b) 0.3 Ampere range [Sao] Current] Rati of ange | (Amp)_| wich Resistance X=M(R+r) Results & Conelu jons:
