Як розрахувати Wheatstone
Що таке 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).
Формула
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

Часті запитання
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.
