Some of the checks that can be done to an electrical device before checking electrical resistance include the proximity of other magnetic fields and other electrical circuits. Measure electrical resistance while at a safe distance from strong electrical circuits.

What is the resistor inside a light bulb?

In an 'old fashioned' incandescent light bulb, the only electrical part inside is the filament wire itself. When you put a meter across a cold bulb and measure the resistance, you're measuring the resistance of the filament. More modern and more efficient artificial light sources, like fluorescent tubes, LED lights and CFLs, have additional electronic components inside the structure of the bulb.

Why galvanometer is connected in wheatstone bridge?

A Wheatstone Bridge is used to measure resistance of an electrical / electronic component. The galvanometer (which was used to measure voltage) has now been replaced by the Multimeter.Both are not used today.AnswerA Wheatstone Bridge has most definitely NOT been replaced by a multimeter! It uses a completely-different method of measuring resistance and is significantly more accurate than a multimeter. The purpose of the very sensitive galvanometer is to detect when the Bridge circuit is 'balanced', by sensing the current (not voltage!) passing through it. When no current flows, the Bridge is balanced.
