Wheatstone Bridge: Unknown R_x at Balance

At null galvanometer, R_x = R2·R3/R1. Rebalance with different R1; mean R_x.

School· 20 min·Related simulator: Wheatstone Bridge

Goal

Find R_x.

Equipment

  • Bridge

Theory

Balance: R1/R2 = R3/R4.

Procedure

  1. V_g ≈ 0, record R1, R2, R3, compute R_x.

Experiment

Conclusion

R_x is recovered within the tolerance band.
