Theory: Kelvin's double bridge may be used to measure four-terminal low resistances. Four
terminal resistors have two current leading terminals and two potential terminals across which the
resistance equals the marked nominal value. This is because the current must enter and leave the
resistor in a fashion that there is the same or equivalent distribution of current density between the
particular equipotent surfaces used to define the resistance. The additional points also eliminated
any contact resistance at the current lead-in terminals.
The kelvin double bridge incorporates the idea of a second set of ratio arms - hence the name
double bridge- and the use of four terminal resistors for the low resistance arms. The first ratio
arms are P and Q. The second set of ratio arms p and q is used to connect the galvanometer to a
point d at the appropriate potential between points m and n to eliminate the effect of connecting
lead resistance r between the unknown resistance R and the standard resistance S.
The ratio p/q is made equal to P/Q. Under balance conditions, there is no current through the
galvanometer which means that the voltage drop between a and b, E ab is equal to voltage drops
Eamd between a and c.

Circuit Analysis:

For zero galvanometer deflection, Eab=Eamd


Experimental Connec on:

Procedure:

1. Keep the source voltage at 12V


2. Keep the Switch ‘S’ in short mode.
3. Switched on the board.
4. Change the Rheostat (Rs) in such a way that the current will be 2A.
5. Turn Switch ‘S’ in open mode.
6. Set the Low Resistance Value (S) in the range of 0.001 to 0.1 (Take 0.002, 0.004, 0.008, 0.01)
7. Turn Switch ‘S’ in Bridge Mode and ‘K’ is kept open.
8. Set Ra, Rb, RA, RB values.
9. Check whether the deflec on is approximately null or not.
10. Close the Switch ‘K’ in close mode.
11. Check whether the deflec on is approximately null or not.
12. If the null deflec on value improved then calculate the unknown resistance value.
13. Check whether the Set value of S is equal to the calculated value of S or not.
14. Repeat the same for 4A, and 6A currents also
