(choose chapter or problem)

In the Wheatstone bridge circuit shown in Fig. 3.26, the ratio \(R_{2} / R_{1}\) can be set to the following values: 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, and 1000. The resistor \(R_{3}\) can be varied from \(1 \text { to } 11,110 \ \Omega\), in increments of \(1 \ \Omega\). An unknown resistor is known to lie between \(4 \text { and } 5 \ \Omega\). What should be the setting of the \(R_{2} / R_{1}\) ratio so that the unknown resistor can be measured to four significant figures?
