प्रश्न
In Wheatstone’s meter-bridge experiment, the null point is obtained in the middle one-third portion of the wire. Why is it recommended?

उत्तर
- Due to the non-uniformity of the bridge wire and the development of contact resistance at the wire's ends, the value of unknown resistance X may not be accurate.
- To reduce these errors, the value of R is modified so that the null point is found in the middle one-third of the wire (between 34 and 66 cm), resulting in the smallest and virtually identical percentage errors in the measurement of lx and lR.

The measurement of an unknown resistance R is to be carried out using Wheatstones bridge (figure). Two students perform an experiment in two ways. The first students takes R2 = 10 Ω and R1 = 5 Ω. The other student takes R2 = 1000 Ω and R1 = 500 Ω. In the standard arm, both take R3 = 5 Ω. Both find R = `R_2/R_1 R_3` = 10 Ω within errors.
- The errors of measurement of the two students are the same.
- Errors of measurement do depend on the accuracy with which R2 and R1 can be measured.
- If the student uses large values of R2 and R1, the currents through the arms will be feeble. This will make determination of null point accurately more difficult.
- Wheatstone bridge is a very accurate instrument and has no errors of measurement.
