Kuinka laskea Wheatstone

Mikä on Wheatstone?

The Wheatstone bridge is a circuit used to measure unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit. R_unknown = R3 × (R2/R1).

Kaava

At balance: R1/R2 = R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
At
R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx — R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
R1
R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx — R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
R2
R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx — R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
R3
R3 value — Variable used in the calculation

  1. 1Four resistors arranged in a diamond (bridge) configuration
  2. 2A galvanometer in the centre detects current imbalance
  3. 3At balance: R1/R2 = R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx

Yleisiä virheitä vältettäväksi

  • Assuming the bridge must be exact — modern circuits use operational amplifiers for nulling
  • Ignoring lead resistance in precision measurements

Usein kysytyt kysymykset

What is a Wheatstone bridge used for?

Precision measurement of resistance, strain gauges, temperature sensors (RTDs), and load cells.

What happens when the bridge is balanced?

No current flows through the galvanometer. The voltage across it is zero.
