Why is the Wheatstone bridge method more accurate for measuring resistance than the voltmeter-ammeter method?
Find the resistance that must be placed in parallel with a 25.0-Ω galvanometer having a 50.0-μA sensitivity (the same as the one discussed in the text) to allow it to be used as an ammeter with a 300-mA full-scale reading.
Why is it important to determine the rate of growth and decay of current in circuits?
