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.
