उत्तर

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
