What is the basic structure of a DC bridge and what is its purpose?
The basic DC bridges consist of four resistive arms with a source of emf (a battery) and a null detector usually galvanometer or other sensitive current meter. They are generally used for the measurement of resistance values.
What are the types of DC bridges and what are their uses?
What are the types of DC bridges and what are their uses?
The types of DC Bridges are a) Wheatstone Bridge, which is used for measuring medium resistance values in the range of 1Ω to below megaohm, and b) Kelvin bridge.
Explain how the Wheatstone Bridge works and what condition indicates balance in the bridge?
Explain how the Wheatstone Bridge works and what condition indicates balance in the bridge?
The Wheatstone Bridge works by having the current through the galvanometer depend on potential difference between point (c) and (d). The bridge is said to be balance when potential difference across the galvanometer is zero volts, so there is no current through the galvanometer ($I_g = 0$).
