The best-known bridge circuit, the Wheatstone bridge, was invented by Samuel Hunter Christie and popularized by Charles Wheatstone, and is used for measuring resistance. It is constructed from four resistors, two of known values R 1 and R 3 (see diagram), one whose resistance is to be determined R x, and one which is variable and calibrated R 2.
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]

Schematic of an H-bridge (highlighted in red) H-bridges are available as integrated circuits, or can be built from discrete components. [1] The term H-bridge is derived from the typical graphical representation of such a circuit. An H-bridge is built with four switches (solid-state or mechanical).
Schematic of a Wien bridge oscillator that uses diodes to control amplitude. This circuit typically produces total harmonic distortion in the range of 1-5% depending on how carefully it is trimmed. The conventional oscillator circuit is designed so that it will start oscillating ("start up") and that its amplitude will be controlled.
The Wien bridge is a type of bridge circuit that was developed by Max Wien in 1891. [1] The bridge consists of four resistors and two capacitors. At the time of the Wien bridge's invention, bridge circuits were a common way of measuring component values by comparing them to known values.
Bridge topology is rendered in circuit diagrams in several ways. The first rendering in figure 1.8 is the traditional depiction of a bridge circuit. The second rendering clearly shows the equivalence between the bridge topology and a topology derived by series and parallel combinations. The third rendering is more commonly known as lattice ...
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 rather than R X. Let ℓ 1 be the null point D on the bridge wire EF in percent.
