  2. Kelvin bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_bridge

    To overcome this, a second pair of resistors R′ 1 and R′ 2 form a second pair of arms of the bridge (hence 'double bridge') and are connected to the inner potential terminals of R s and R x (identified as P 2 and P′ 2 in the diagram). The detector D is connected between the junction of R 1 and R 2 and the junction of R′ 1 and R′ 2. [2]

  3. Liquid junction potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_junction_potential

    The most common method of eliminating the liquid junction potential is to place a salt bridge consisting of a saturated solution of potassium chloride (KCl) and ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3) with lithium acetate (CH 3 COOLi) between the two solutions constituting the junction. When such a bridge is used, the ions in the bridge are present in ...

  4. Voltage divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_divider

    Voltage dividers are used for adjusting the level of a signal, for bias of active devices in amplifiers, and for measurement of voltages. A Wheatstone bridge and a multimeter both include voltage dividers. A potentiometer is used as a variable voltage divider in the volume control of many radios.

  5. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    In power supply design, a bridge circuit or bridge rectifier is an arrangement of diodes or similar devices used to rectify an electric current, i.e. to convert it from an unknown or alternating polarity to a direct current of known polarity. In some motor controllers, an H-bridge is used to control the direction the motor turns.

  6. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  7. Kelvin–Varley divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin–Varley_divider

    The final stage of a Kelvin–Varley divider is just a Kelvin divider. For a decade divider, there will be ten equal value resistors. Let the value of each resistor be R n Ohms. The input impedance of the entire string will be 10 R n. Alternatively, the last stage can be a two resistor bridge tap.

  8. Kelvin water dropper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

    The Kelvin water dropper, invented by Scottish scientist William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) in 1867, [1] is a type of electrostatic generator. Kelvin referred to the device as his water-dropping condenser. The apparatus is variously called the Kelvin hydroelectric generator, the Kelvin electrostatic generator, or Lord Kelvin's thunderstorm.
