  2. Wheatstone bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatstone_bridge

    A Wheatstone bridge is an electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown component. The primary benefit of the circuit is its ability to provide extremely accurate measurements (in contrast with something like a simple voltage divider ). [ 1 ]

  3. Post office box (electricity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_office_box_(electricity)

    Education tool for post office box exhibited at Tokyo Denki University. The post office box was a Wheatstone bridge–style testing device with pegs and spring arms to close electrical circuits and measure properties of the circuit under test.

  4. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    A bridge circuit is a topology of electrical circuitry in which two circuit branches (usually in parallel with each other) are "bridged" by a third branch connected between the first two branches at some intermediate point along them. The bridge was originally developed for laboratory measurement purposes and one of the intermediate bridging ...

  5. Carey Foster bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carey_Foster_bridge

    The two remaining arms are the nearly equal resistances P and Q, connected in the inner gaps of the bridge. A standard Wheatstone bridge for comparison. Points A, B, C and D in both circuit diagrams correspond. X and Y correspond to R 1 and R 2, P and Q correspond to R 3 and R X. Note that with the Carey Foster bridge, we are measuring R 1 ...

  6. Samuel Hunter Christie - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Hunter_Christie

    However, the method went unrecognised until 1843, when Charles Wheatstone proposed it, in another paper [3] for the Royal Society, for measuring resistance in electrical circuits. Although Wheatstone presented it as Christie's invention, it is his name, rather than Christie's, that is now associated with the device.

    Steve Guttenberg hit the ground running to help people impacted by the fires in Pacific Palisades — and he was almost unrecognizable. The flames first began around 10:30 a.m. local time on ...

  8. Thermal conductivity detector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_conductivity_detector

    Under normal conditions there is a stable heat flow from the filament to the detector body. When an analyte elutes and the thermal conductivity of the column effluent is reduced, the filament heats up and changes resistance. This resistance change is often sensed by a Wheatstone bridge circuit which produces a measurable voltage change. The ...
