Can you find very high resistance accurately with the help of a Metre bridge?

Metre bridge is an instrument that works on the principle of Wheatstone Bridge and is used to find unknown resistance.

  • The meter bridge is sensitive when the resistance of all 4 bridge arms is in the same order, and it turns insensitive to extremely high and very low resistances.
  • The deflection of the meter bridge will be minimal when resistance is too high. This indicates that the currents are too low.
  • As a result, the Metre bridge cannot be used to accurately measure extremely high resistance.

        A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.
