(Ifr, and r, are not known.) 8. Connect the two coils r, and r, in series as shown in figure in the right gap of metre bridge and find the resistance of this combination. Take at least three sets of observations. 4. Record your observations as follows. aryonly rand rin series gem [go pom [eo mo ‘i ‘CALCULATIONS ‘ 1.
