Copper wire is not used as the bridge wire in a meter bridge because

A lump of copper is stretched into a wire 5mn in diameter. Another wire of 1 cm diameter is made from another lump of copper of the same mass. Find the ratio of the resistances of the two wires.

In the left gap of a meter bridge there is a coil of copper and in the right gap there is fixed resistance . If the coil of copper is dipped in ice the balance point is obtained at 41.2 cm of the bridge wire . Next the coil is taken of form ice and placed in a container of hoy water .
