balance is stagnant to avoid errors. Mark the pans as P1 and P2 and place the certain weight indicated on the table on the P1 only and adjust the pans on the beam so that the system is in equilibrium. Measure L1 from the center of the beam to the P1 and L2 from the center of the beam to P2. Now remove the weight from P1 and add the certain weight this time in P2 and adjust the pans again for equilibrium. Now measure L3 from the center to P1 and L4 from the center to P2. You get these equations in solving

language (L1) reading‚ readers use only one language‚ whereas in second language (L2) reading‚ learners have at least two languages to deal with. The former group is limited in their linguistic knowledge.

CAREY FOSTER BRIDGE Introduction The Carey Foster bridge is an electrical circuit that can be used to measure very small resistances. It works on the same principle as Wheatstone’s bridge‚ which consists of four resistances‚ P‚ Q‚ R and S that are connected to each other as shown in the circuit diagram in Figure 1. In this circuit‚ G is a galvanometer‚ E is a lead accumulator‚ and K1 and K are the galvanometer key and the battery key respectively. If the values of the resistances are adjusted so
