the battery B comes to the point a,it divides, part going down the side abd and part down theside accl. If the resistances of the two sides are alike, thesame amount of current will flow through each; but if theyare not alike, more current will follow the side having theless resistance. If wTe… … be made greater than that of the other, then the currentwill flow through the galvanometer from the side carryingthe greater current. Suppose we insert in cd a resistance-box, and in bd the body whose resistance we wish to meas-ure, x. If the resistance-box is at 0, the resistance of xwill hold…
