Determining resistance measurement using Wheatstone bridge
1. Conduct a circuit simulation using any suitable software
for the Wheatstone bridge circuit as shown in
Figure 5.2 with R1, R2, R3 (portable or variable resistor) and R4. Set the value
of each elements in Figure 5.2 according to Table 5.1.
Table 5.1: Parameters of Wheatstone bridge
Element
Resistor, R1
Value [Unit]
10 kQ
Resistor, R2
Resistor, R3 (portable/variable resistor)
Resistor, R4 (= unknown resistor, Rx)
DC Source/Battery
2.2 ko
30 kO (max)
5.6 kQ
10 V
2.
Connect a DC ammeter (in microampere range) between nodes Va-Vb as the
initial detector. You may replace the ammeter with a galvanometer to achieve
better accuracy.
3. Adjust arm resistance R3 until ammeter reading show a value near to 0 µA
(or exactly 0 µA). Record the value of R3 and the ammeter reading in Table
5.2.
