To understand the concept of sensitivity of bridge. Learn the “exchange measure method”, with which to eliminate the system error. 2.The apparatus: Unknown resistances; DC power supply; galvanometer; resistor box; variable resistor; switch and other electrical components; electrical bridge. 3.Theories: 1)The principle and the structure of the Wheatstone bridge When UC=UD RX=R1R2RO 2)The sensitivity of the Wheatstone bridge Because of the sensitivity of the galvanometer is limited, the current through the galvanometer is not truly zero, and the galvanometer cannot efficiently measure it. The sensitivity of the bridge is defined as the ratio between the deflection of the galvanometer, Dd, and the corresponding relative value of R0. S=ΔdΔRORO 3)The “exchange measure method”. Exchange the positions of R1 and R2, or R0 and Rx, and adjusting R0 to R0 ￠, the bridge can get a new balanced state，and RX=R1R2R0 Combine this equation with RX=R1R2RO, we can get: RX=RORO This equation has nothing to do with R1 and R2. In this way we can make the error only relate to the instrument error of R0, which is the instrument error of resistor box. 4.The procedures: Use simply constructed bridge to measure the metal film resistor. Connect the circuit and measure the resistance then exchange R0 and RX measure the resistance again. The key points: Find the balance point. Measure the sensitivity of the bridge. Exchange R0 and RX measure the resistance again. Error analysis: The uncertainty of R0: Δapparatus=ΔR0 apparatus=0.1%Ro+0.005(K+1) The error caused by the sensitivity of the bridge is: ΔR0*=R00.2S (S is the sensitivity of the galvanometer) URo=(ΔR0 apparatus )2+(ΔR0*)2 The relative uncertainty of RX is: URXRX=(12UR0R0)2+(12UR0R0)2≈22UR0R0 (N=1.0) Use box-bridge to measure the resi
