There is no great difference between between the two in principlebut,In a Carey foster's bridge there is no end resistance whereas in the case of a metre bridge end resistance afffects our readings.Hence Carey foster bridge is more accurate than metre bridge .Carey foster bridge can also measure low resistance and high resistance but a metre bridge cannot do so.
You can use a multi-meter to measure resistance. The specific portion of the meter for measuring resistance is called an ohmmeter.
You measure current by inserting an amp meter in series with the circuit or using a clamp-on meter to measure current by induction. You measure voltage with a volt meter across the supply. You measure resistance in ohms across the resistance. Luckily all these functions are in the same meter in most cases.

An Ohm Meter.
used to measure low Resistance since it must reach a null.
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.

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.

The specific resistance of the material can be calculated
Avo meter
Zero ohms.
(a) The connection between the resistors in a meter bridge is made of thick copper strips because the resistivity of a copper wire is very low. As, the connections are thick, so the area becomes large and the resistance of the wires becomes almost negligible. (b) It is preferred to obtain the balance point in the middle of the meter bridge wire because it improves the sensitivity of the meter bridge. (c) Constant is used for meter bridge wire because its temperature coefficient of resistance is almost negligible due to which the resistance of the wire does not get affected on increasing temperature of the wire during flow of current.
we can measure the resistance if we know the voltage and current passing through a line (V=IR)AnswerYou can measure its approximate resistance using an ohmmeter, but ohmmeters aren't particularly accurate. A better way would be to use a Wheatstone Bridge, which is highly accurate.
