The research work started with an extensive literary research in an attempt to find out facts about the instrument. This led to probing the history of Wheatstone bridge, hour it was developed up till the point Wheatstone Bridges of different designs were made. This work deals with metre Bridge which is one of the fundamental instrument in most physics laboratories. Metre Bridge is a topic under electricity, is an instrument made up of wooden board metre rule, wire, usually constantan, and metal strips (standard resistor, unknown resistor, galvanometer, battery, sliding contact, and keys are included when the metre bridge is in use.
1.1 Introduction
In this section, Design and Construction of a Metre Bridge is discussed, with relevant and recent citations. As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the aim and objectives of the study. Others are significance of the study, scope of work, research hypothesis and questions, limitation of the study and definition of terms.
