The measurement of an unknown resistance R is to be carried out using Wheatstones bridge (see Fig. of NCERT Book). Two students perform an experiment in two ways. The first students takes R2 = 10Ω and R1 = 5Ω. The other student takes R2 = 1000Ω and R1 = 500Ω. In the standard arm, both take R3 = 5Ω.
Both find $\text{R}=\frac{\text{R}_2}{\text{R}_1}\text{R}_3=10\Omega$ within errors.
