How to Evaluate Metre Bridge?

Metre Bridge evaluator uses Unknown Resistance = Electric Resistance*(Wire Length)/Final Length of Wire to evaluate the Unknown Resistance, Metre Bridge formula is defined as a method of measuring unknown resistance in a circuit by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg having the unknown resistance and the other having a known resistance, to determine the value of the unknown resistance with high accuracy. Unknown Resistance is denoted by Rx symbol.

How to evaluate Metre Bridge using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Metre Bridge, enter Electric Resistance (R), Wire Length (Lwire) & Final Length of Wire (Lf,wire) and hit the calculate button.
