Can someone help me to answer the following?
(b) The circuit shown in Figure 1 can be used to measure the resistance of a platinum resistance thermometer (PRT). AB is a uniform resistance wire of length 1.0 m and C is a sliding contact on this wire. A standard resistor R is included in the circuit. The position of C is adjusted until the voltmeter V reads zero.
(i) By applying Kirchhoff’s laws to loops ADCA and BCDB, deduce an expression for the resistance of the PRT in terms of l1, l and the value of the standard resistor.
----------------------------
I have tried a few times and ended up with an expression PRT=R*l1/(L-l1). But im worried I am not using the loop rule correctly.
Im sorry you cannot see the circuit as I cant post links to this on here.
Thank you for any help.
