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

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.
