All About Wheatstone Bridge Circuit Theory & Its Working Principle

What is the Wheatstone Bridge? The Wheatstone Bridge consists of a dc voltage source, four resistors and a detector. The detector is a type of ammeter called a galvanometer. The galvanometer is used to detect the condition ig = 0 .When the circuit satisfies this condition we say that “the bridge is balanced”. A Wheatstone bridge… Read More »
