Why is the meter bridge suitable for resistance of moderate values only ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The bridge becomes insensitive for too high or too low values and the readings become undependable. When determining low resistance, the end resistance of the meter bridge wire and resistance of connecting wires contribute towards the major part of error.
