Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Measuring range | 1 Ω to 10 MΩ, multi-range |
| Ratio arms | 0.001 to 1000 |
| Bridge | Four-arm network |
| Null detector | Built-in centre-zero galvanometer |
| Power | Internal battery; external DC input supported |
| Controls | Rotary ratio and decade switches |
| Case | ABS suitcase style, with handle |
How It Is Used
The unknown resistor is connected to the terminals, a ratio is chosen and the decade switches are turned until the built-in galvanometer reads zero. The unknown resistance is then the decade setting multiplied by the ratio, so students can measure resistance by bridge balance in the laboratory or in the field without extra equipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
