    This document discusses using a Wheatstone bridge circuit to measure unknown resistances. The Wheatstone bridge allows comparison of an unknown resistor against precision resistors of known value. When the voltages across the arms of the bridge are equal, the ratio of the resistances can be used to calculate the unknown resistance. The document also explains how to calculate the threshold voltage and resistance of the bridge circuit.

    Direct Current Bridges

    A Wheatstone bridge can be used to measure resistance by comparing unknown resistor against precision resistors of known value,

    When the voltage between A and B is equal zero . Then the voltage for R1 is equal to the voltage for R2 I1 R1 = I 2 R 2 (1) I3 R3 = I4 R4 (2)

    I Galvanometer is equal zero then (3)

    I1 = I3 , I2= I4 Divide (1)/(I2 2)

    or

    Calculate the value of Rx if the bridge is balanced

    R1 Rx = R2 R3

    We can calculate Vth and rth by the following: * First Vth : Using voltage Kirchhoff law Vth =V1 V2 = I1 R1 I2 R2 =

    seconded rth

    Calculate the current flowing through Galvanometer in the figure bellow:
