Why do we use bridge circuits?

A bridge circuit is mainly used to measure resistance. It is known that the relation between the variable resistor and its neighbor resistor R1 is equivalent to the relation between the unknown resistor and its neighbor R3, which permits the unknown value of the resistor to be calculated.

What is a bridge in instrumentation?

bridge, in electrical measurement, instrument for measuring electrical quantities. A bridge can measure other quantities in addition to resistance, depending upon the type of circuit elements used in the arms.

What is the function of bridge in EMI?

AC bridges are used to measure the value of unknown inductance, capacitance and frequency.

Which bridge is frequency sensitive?

Important Points

Type of Bridge	Name of Bridge	Important
AC Bridges	Campbell’s modification of Heaviside bridge
De-Sauty’s bridge	Suitable for perfect capacitor
Schering bridge	Used to measure relative permittivity
Wein’s bridge	Harmonic distortion analyzer, used as a notch filter, used in audio and high-frequency applications

Why is Wheatstone bridge used?

Wheatstone Bridge is used in applications where small changes in resistance are to be measured in sensors. This bridge is used to find the unknown resistance very precisely by comparing it with a known value of resistances. In this bridge, a Null or Balanced condition is used to find the unknown resistance.

What is 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.

What is bridge measurement?

Bridges are often used for the precision measurement of component values, like resistance, inductance, capacitance, etc. It compares the value of an unknown component with that of an accurately known standard component. Thus, the accuracy of measurement depends on the bridge and not on the null detector.

What are the two main types of bridges?

Types of Bridges

• Arch Bridges. Arch bridges – use arch as a main structural component (arch is always located below the bridge, never above it).
• Beam Bridges.
• Truss Bridges.
• Cantilever Bridges.
• Tied Arch Bridges.
• Suspension Bridges.
• Cable-Stayed Bridges.
• Moveable Bridges.

Which of the following is a sensitive bridge?

Important Points

Type of Bridge	Name of Bridge	Important
DC Bridges	Kelvin double bridge
	Loss of charge method
	Megger	Resistance of cables
AC Bridges	Maxwell’s inductance bridge	Not suitable to measure Q

What is the use of Anderson bridge?

In electronics, Anderson’s bridge is a bridge circuit used to measure the self-inductance of the coil. It enables measurement of inductance by utilizing other circuit components like resistors and capacitors.
