Question
4-5)
Before the advent of ohmmeters (even the
analog ones), unknown resistances (Runk)
were measured using a Wheatstone bridge.
The unknown resistance is placed into the
circuit at right as shown. The values of R1
and R2 are extremely well known. The
resistance of Rvar is adjusted until the meter
Runk.
Rvar
R1.
R2
reads no current in the cross branch. The
value of Rvar is then read from a dial.
Show that Runk can be found from
