Description

Principle

The Wheatstone bridge circuit is used to determine unknown resistances. The total resistance of resistors connected in parallel and in series is measured.

Benefits

• Highly precise and reproducible measurements possible
• Many different measurement variations possible
• Also suitable for measurement of low resistances

Tasks

1. Determination of unknown resistances.
2. Determination of the total resistance of resistors in series and of resistors in parallel.
