a network of four resistive legs
A network of four resistances, an emf (voltage) source, and an indicator connected such that when the four resistances are matched, the indicator will show a zero deflection or "null" reading. Prototype of most other bridge circuits.
a four arm resistance bridge having 1, 2 or 4 variable resistances. It is commonly used with resistance based sensors, especially strain gauges and RTDs. It is effective in suppressing to zero point thus allowing higher amplification and for temperature compensation
A device that measures the resistance of an electrical circuit to the flow of electricity. [LB90
A network of four resistances, an emf source, and a galvanometer connected such that when the four resistances are matched, the galvanometer will show a zero deflection or "null" reading.
Four arm bridge circuit used to measure resistance, inductance or capacitance.
A conductor that joins two branches of an electrical circuit to compare electrical resistance makes up the bridge, which helps determine electrical resistance by comparing the unknown value with a known value.
A Wheatstone bridge is a measuring instrument invented by Samuel Hunter Christie in 1833 and improved and popularized by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1843. It is used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown component. Its operation is similar to the original potentiometer except that in potentiometer circuits the meter used is a sensitive galvanometer.
Wheatstone Bridge was a progressive rock band from Hendersonville, North Carolina. Usually consisting of the "power trio" approach since its' inception in 1995 by David Wilson(guitars and vocals), it later expanded to include some MIDI work.
