Classification of Resistance Measurements
• Low resistances (0-1) Ω
• Medium resistances (1-0.1M)Ω
• High resistances (≥ 0.1MΩ)

Voltmeter-Ammeter Method
As we know that the internal resistances of the voltmeter and ammeter are large and small, respectively.

Voltmeter-Ammeter Method(1) Simple and requires only two meters(2) Subject to error

Substitution Method• Keep at position 1 and
vary the Rh up to finite value of current flow through the circuit.
• Shift to position 2 with the same value of Rh in previous case, change the S value until the same/previous current flow through the circuit.

Ohmmeter Method(1) Only one meter(2) Non-linear scale

Using Bridge Circuit
9
• Bridge Circuit is a null method, operates on the principle of comparison
• A known (standard) value is adjusted until it is equal to the unknown value

Contact Resistance
On the micro scale, surface roughness limits surface to surface contact
Measurement using four terminals to avoid contact resistance

Figure below show the schematic diagram of a Wheatstone bridge with the bridge elements. The battery is 5 V and its internal resistance negligible. The galvanometer has a current sensitivity of 10 mm/ µA and an internal resistance of 100 Ω. Calculate the deflection of the galvanometer caused by the 5 Ω unbalance in arm BC.

The galvanometer in the previous question is replaced by one with an internal resistance of 500 Ω and a current sensitivity of 1 mm/µA. Assuming that the minimum deflection that can be observed on this galvanometer is 1 mm, determine what is the minimum unbalance in the resistance that can be detected in arm BC.
