उत्तर
A Wheatstone bridge is an arrangement of four resistors used to measure the resistance of one of them in terms of the other three. It was invented by Samuel Hunter Christie in 1833 and made famous by Sir Charles Wheatstone. The device operates on the principle of null deflection, where no current flows through the galvanometer when the bridge is balanced.
