  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. 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. 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 ...

  7. Circuit topology (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_topology_(electrical)

    Bridge topology is an important topology with many uses in both linear and non-linear applications, including, amongst many others, the bridge rectifier, the Wheatstone bridge and the lattice phase equaliser. Bridge topology is rendered in circuit diagrams in several ways.

  8. Load cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

    A Wheatstone bridge is a configuration of four balanced resistors with a known excitation voltage applied as shown below: Excitation voltage V EX {\displaystyle V_{\text{EX}}} is a known constant and output voltage V o {\textstyle V_{o}} is variable depending on the shape of the strain gauges.

  9. Catalytic bead sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalytic_bead_sensor

    The catalytic bead sensor consists of two coils of fine platinum wire each embedded in a bead of alumina, connected electrically in a Wheatstone bridge circuit. One of the pellistors is impregnated with a special catalyst which promotes oxidation whilst the other is treated to inhibit oxidation. Current is passed through the coils so that they ...
