-- Connect a source of known, small voltage across the ends of the unknown resistance. -- Measure the resulting current through the unknown resistance. -- Divide (small known voltage)/(measured current). The quotient is the formerly unknown resistance.
Measure the voltage V and current I and compute the unknown Resistance R=V/I.
Since when did post boxes include a balanced bridge resistance meter? Or become the "X" resistor in a circuit of any kind.
Resistance of a material would depend on the temperature. So drawing a graph with temperature along x axis and its resistance along y axis we could almost a straight line or curve. Then right knowing the resistance at some unknown temperature we can find the temperature right from the garph.
One can determine the charge for an unknown material by using negligible friction. One will then be able to compare reactions between different charges that are brought near the unknown material.
Wheatstone bridge is used to calculate the resistance of unknown resistor in the circuit.
to measure the unknown resistance
You use a transducer in a wheatstone bridge. The wheatstone bridge allows you to find an unknown resistance.
The wheatstone bridge is an instrument used to measure electrical resistance by means of balancing a bridge circuit. The bridge circuit contains two legs, one of which contains the unknown resistance. Variations in wheatstone bridge can be employed to measure inductance, capacitance, and impedance also.

just to find out our given unknown resistance value or to put it another way, To find the value of the unknown resistor attached.
An electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance is called a Wheatstone bridge. It is called a bridge because it balances two legs of a bridge circuit.
WHEATSTONE BRIDGE : A wheatstone bridge is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown compound.Its operation is similar to the original potentiometer. METER BRIDGE : A uniform resistance wire 1 meter in length, mounted above a scale marked in millimeters, with terminals added to make the device usable as either part of a wheatstone bridge or of a potentiometer.
This lab effectively showed how the Wheatstone bridge provides a mechanism to calculate an unknown resistance using the known relationships given through the resistivity correlation to length. It demonstrated how to set-up a Wheatstone bridge and how to manipulate a Wheatstone bridge in a laboratory setting. In addition, the lab provided a demonstration of the aforementioned linear relationships. Although significant error existed in this lab, the results still reflect the relationships governing the Wheatstone bridge sufficiently for understanding in an experimental contextual environment unknown resistance using the known relationships given through the resistivity correlation to length.It demonstrated how to set-up a Wheatstone bridge and how to manipulate a Wheatstone bridge in alaboratory setting.

If you mean bridge as in Wheatstone etc then the answer is that you do not have to move any controls to get a reading for the unknown. You just connect your unknown to the terminals and the bridge will automatically analyse its resistance, inductance and capacitance, set itself into the correct range, and give you a readout in at least two parameters.
To measure resistance, you could use an ohmmeter. But ohmmeters are not particularly accurate, so other methods are preferable. These include the use of Wheatstone's Bridge (which compares the unknown resistance with known values) or a Ducter (for very low resistances).
A Carey-foster's bridge is a modified version of the meter bridge (wheatstone bridge or potentiometer). It can be used to find out the average resistance per unit length of the meter bridge wire and hence find out the unknown resistance. It is more accurate and more sensitive than a meter bridge.
