    1. This experiment aims to determine the resistance of a given wire using a meter bridge apparatus. 2. The meter bridge consists of a 1 meter long constantan wire connected to terminals A and C, with L-shaped metal strips used to connect resistors in a Wheatstone bridge configuration. 3. By balancing the bridge so that no current flows through the galvanometer, the resistance of an unknown wire (R) can be determined based on the balancing point on the constantan wire and the known standard resistor (S).

    PRECAUTIONS
    1. Draw the diagram before making connections.
    circuit

    2 3.
    Clean the ends of the connecting wires before making connections.
    The connections should be neat and tight
    4. The plugs of the resistance box should be tight.

    5. The value of R should be varied in small steps only (preferably 0.1 ohm each time).
    6. The current should be passed for minimum possible time.
    7. The balance point should lie between 40 cm and 60 cm.
    8. The resistance wire should not be allowed to form a loop.

    SOURCES OF ERROR
    1. There may be error due to contact resistances.
    2. Length of the wire used up in connections may not be correctly estimated.
