State the underlying principle of meter bridge. Draw the circuit diagram and explain how the unknown resistance of a conductor can be determined by this method.
Principle of meter bridge:-
It works on the principle of balance condition of the Wheatstone bridge.
Circuit diagram of meter bridge ;
When, the jokey is moved along the wire, at one position of jokey, the galvanometer will show no deflection.
let the distance of the jokey from the end A at the balanced point be then
Hence,
