  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. Kelvin–Varley divider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin–Varley_divider

    A device that dissipates 0.5 W and has a thermal resistance of 12 K/W will have its temperature rise 6 K above the ambient temperature. When Kelvin–Varley dividers are used to test high voltages, self-heating can create a problem. The first divider stage is often made from 10 kΩ resistors, so the divider input resistance is 100 kΩ.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Bridge circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_circuit

    Analysis of bridge current. From the figure to the right, the bridge current is represented as I 5. Per Thévenin's theorem, finding the Thévenin equivalent circuit which is connected to the bridge load R 5 and using the arbitrary current flow I 5, we have: Thevenin Source (V th) is given by the formula:

  6. Conversion of scales of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_of_scales_of...

    This is a collection of temperature conversion formulas and comparisons among eight different temperature scales, several of which have long been obsolete.. Temperatures on scales that either do not share a numeric zero or are nonlinearly related cannot correctly be mathematically equated (related using the symbol =), and thus temperatures on different scales are more correctly described as ...

  7. Kelvin water dropper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_water_dropper

    Fig. 3: A Kelvin water dropper set up at the 2014 Cambridge Science Festival If the buckets are metal conductors, then the built-up charge resides on the outside of the metal, not in the water. This is part of the electrical induction process, and is an example of the related " Faraday's ice bucket ".

  8. Bolometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolometer

    The microbolometer grid is commonly found in three sizes, a 640×480 array, a 320×240 array (384×288 amorphous silicon) or less expensive 160×120 array. 640x512 VOx arrays are commonly used in static security camera applications with low shock resistance requirements.

  9. Maxwell bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell_bridge

    A Maxwell-Wien bridge. A Maxwell bridge is a modification to a Wheatstone bridge used to measure an unknown inductance (usually of low Q value) in terms of calibrated resistance and inductance or resistance and capacitance. [1] When the calibrated components are a parallel resistor and capacitor, the bridge is known as a Maxwell bridge.
