Experiment 2 Physics

This document describes an experiment to determine the resistivity of a material using a meter bridge. The apparatus includes a meter bridge, battery, galvanometer, resistance box, jockey, key, and a wire sample. The unknown resistance of the wire sample is calculated using readings from the meter bridge and known resistances placed in the left arm. Multiple observations are taken while varying the known resistance to improve accuracy. Proper connections, handling of the jockey, and measuring the wire diameter seek to minimize sources of error.
