Errors
 The wire may not be uniformly thick.
 The contact resistance between the plates and
wires at A and C.
Minimization of Errors
 Two sets of 3 readings are taken by interchanging
positions of RX and R B, and average is calculated

Ans : (b) R The equivalent circuit of the given network is a balanced wheatstone’s network as shown in the figure No current will flow through the branch LK ∴ Resistance in the branch ALB = 2R and resistance in the branch AKB = 2R. As they are in parallel, their effective resistance = R
