-- 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.

How do you measure the unknown resistance?

You can measure an unknown resistance by using a multimeter set to the resistance measurement function. Connect the unknown resistance in series with the multimeter and apply a known voltage across them. The multimeter will display the resistance value based on the voltage and current readings.


In physics what is the use of meter bridge?

A meter bridge is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by comparing it with a known resistance. It works on the principle of Wheatstone bridge. By balancing the bridge circuit, the value of the unknown resistance can be calculated accurately.


How do you connect circuit to determine the resistance of unknown arm of post office box by kelvin method?

To determine the resistance of the unknown arm of a post office box using the Kelvin method, you need to create a four-terminal connection to eliminate errors from lead resistance. Connect one pair of terminals to the known resistor and the other pair to the unknown resistor. Measure the total resistance, then disconnect the known resistor and measure the resistance again to isolate the unknown resistor's resistance.


What happens when unknown resistance is changed to other armin wheatstone bridge?

Changing the unknown resistance in a Wheatstone bridge will result in an imbalance in the circuit, causing a potential difference across the bridge. This potential difference can be used to determine the new value of the unknown resistance by adjusting other known resistances until the bridge is balanced again.


How do you find resistance by a graph?

To find resistance from a graph of voltage vs. current, you can calculate the slope of the graph. Resistance is equal to the slope, so you can divide the voltage by the current to determine the resistance. The unit of resistance is ohms (Ω).
