Drawbacks of meter bridge experiment

Meter bridge: A device used to measure the resistance of a metal coil, is called a meter bridge.

Some drawbacks are provided below:

  1. Since the bridge is perhaps most sensitive at a length 50cm, it would not be appropriate for measuring increasing or decreasing resistance.
  2. The meter bridge wire might not have been approximately one meter long, resulting in measurement inaccuracy.
