The Wheatstone Bridge is designed to enable the calculation of unknown resistances. It is very accurate, and works on reducing the potential difference or current between A and B to zero. It is much easier and more accurate to change the variable resistorand estimate when the current is zero than to measure the voltage across a resistor, the current though a resistor then use the equation V=IR

Having obtained a zero reading on the resistor, the unknown resistance R_x could then be calculated because R2 and R3 are in the same ratio as R1 and Rcx hence
R1/R3 =R1/Rx



We rearrange this to make Rx the subject
any specific topic??????
