Wheatstone Bridge Applications
Wheatstone Bridge and the modification of Wheatstone Bridge are very useful tools in the field of physics and are used in a variety of measurement use cases, some of which are as follows:
- The most common use of Wheatstone Bridge is to measure resistance, as it can measure resistance very precisely. A Meter Bridge is one of the applications of Wheatstone Bridge, which can measure unknown resistance with the help of everyday materials and a galvanometer.
- With some modifications in Wheatstone Bridge, we can even measure quantities like Capacitance, Inductance, and Impedance.
- Using Wheatstone Bridge and operational amplifiers, we can measure a variety of physical parameters such as temperature strain, light, etc.
Wheatstone Bridge
Wheatstone bridge is a device that is used to find the resistance of a conductor, in 1842, scientist Wheatstone proposed a theory, which is called the principle of Wheatstone bridge after his name. we can prove or establish the formula for Wheatstone by using Kirchhoff laws. Wheatstone bridge is simply an electric circuit used to measure an unknown electric resistance by balancing two-point of a bridge. Let’s get started!
