Lab8: Wheatstone Bridge Circuit

Reading time: 10 mins

This prelab introduced the principle of Wheatstone bridge circuit.

The bridge circuit is a simple and elegant circuit to measure unknown resistance change which can link to different types of sensors, such as temperature, strain, or flow. The schematic of a wheatstone bridge is nothing more than two simple series-parallel arrangements of resistances connected between a voltage supply terminal and ground.

The following video explains the working principle of bridge circuit.
