In the Wheatstone bridge circuit Fig. $5.149,$ the four arms have resistance P=2 Ω, Q=4 Ω, R=1 Ω and S=
3 Ω. The galvanometer G has the resistance 10 Ω. Find the current through the galvanometer. What should be the value of R for the galvanometer current to be zero?

A metre bridge is balanced with a piece of aluminium wire of resistance 7.30 Ω in the left-hand gap, the slide contact being 42.6 cm from the left-hand end of the bridge wire and the temperature was 17°C. If the temperature of the aluminium were raised to 57°C, How may the balance be restored by keeping the contact at 42.6 cm and connecting a conductor of what resistance in parallel to the aluminium wire ? (The temperature coefficient of resistance for aluminium may be taken as 3.8×10-3 per deg C).
