You are provided with two wires marked P and C. a resistor \(R_s\) = 1\(\Omega\) and other necessary apparatus. Connect \(R_s\) in the left-hand gap of the metre bridge, a length L= 100cm of wire P in the right-hand gap and the other apparatus as shown in the diagram: above Determine the balance point B on the bridge wire AC Measure and record AB =/s, and BC = / Evaluate \(R_1\) = (\(\frac{|_{p}}{|_{s}}\))Rs Repeat the procedure for four other values of L = 90, 80, 70 and 60cm. In each case obtain and record the value of |\(_{s}\) and |\(_{p}\) and evaluate \(R_1\) = (\(\frac{|_{p}}{|_{s}}\))Rs Repeat the experiment with the second wire, Q.
