Solution

Wheatstone bridge

  1. A Wheatstone bridge is a circuit that measures an unknown resistance by connecting four wires forming a quadrilateral.
  2. Three wires have known resistances, and one has an unknown resistance when applying a voltage between a pair of opposite corners.

Meter Bridge

  1. A meter bridge, also called a slide wire bridge, is an experimental instrument used to find the unknown resistance of a conductor.

Hence, Meter Bridge or Slide Wire Bridge is a practical form of the Wheatstone bridge.
