INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Wheatstone Bridge Voltage and Current Determination

A Wheatstone bridge circuit has the following voltage ( Vs ) and resistor ( R ) values: Q: What is the value for the voltage ( VL ) drop and current ( I ) across the load resistor ( RL )? A: We begin by removing the load resistor and marking the new terminals ofContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Wheatstone Bridge Voltage and Current Determination“

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Thevenizing a Wheatstone Bridge Circuit

Many simple circuits can be categorized as being either a series circuit, parallel circuit, or a combination series-parallel circuit. To the contrary, analysis of Wheatstone bridge circuits is comparatively difficult, because no clear cut series-parallel relationship exists between its component resistors: Thevenin’s theorem enables us to analyze the circuit with convenience via removal of theContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Thevenizing a Wheatstone Bridge Circuit”
