Cara Menghitung Wheatstone

learn.whatIsHeading

The Wheatstone bridge is a circuit used to measure unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit. R_unknown = R3 × (R2/R1).

Rumus

At balance: R1/R2 = R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
At
R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx — R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
R1
R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx — R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
R2
R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx — R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx
R3
R3 value — Variable used in the calculation
Rx
Rx value — Variable used in the calculation

Panduan Langkah demi Langkah

  1. 1Four resistors arranged in a diamond (bridge) configuration
  2. 2A galvanometer in the centre detects current imbalance
  3. 3At balance: R1/R2 = R3/Rx — solve for unknown Rx

Contoh Terpecahkan

Masukan
R1=100Ω, R2=200Ω, R3=150Ω
Hasil
Rx = 300Ω
Bridge balanced when R1/R2 = R3/Rx

Kesalahan Umum yang Harus Dihindari

  • Assuming the bridge must be exact — modern circuits use operational amplifiers for nulling
  • Ignoring lead resistance in precision measurements

Pertanyaan yang sering diajukan

What is a Wheatstone bridge used for?

Precision measurement of resistance, strain gauges, temperature sensors (RTDs), and load cells.

What happens when the bridge is balanced?

No current flows through the galvanometer. The voltage across it is zero.
