The Wheatstone Bridge

Set up the Wheatstone bridge circuit with the four resistances chosen above, using any order that you please. Measure the voltage across the terminals marked $a$ and $b$ in the figure above. Does your calculated value agree? Make a different arrangement designed to create a bigger voltage difference. Record your reasoning, then arrange the circuit and test. Where you right?
