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.

What is the difference between the Carey foster bridge and meter bridge?

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.

What is the principle of Carey foster's bridge?

the principle of wheatstone bridge is,there is a potential fall is directly proportional to the length of the wire, and this fall is also equalt to the fall accross the resistances applied in parallel to the battery. It is a form of wheatstone bridge.


Why standard 1 ohm resistance used in Carey foster bridge experiment?

In the Carey Foster bridge experiment, a standard 1-ohm resistance is used as a reference to ensure accurate measurements of unknown resistances. This value is convenient because it simplifies calculations and allows for clear comparisons with the unknown resistances being tested. The use of a 1-ohm resistor also helps minimize errors due to voltage drops, making the measurements more reliable and precise. Additionally, the 1-ohm standard provides a uniform baseline for calibration in various experimental setups.
