Abstract

At the beginning, the Wheatstone bridge was a group of four resistors connected in a bridge configuration, with a DC voltage supply in one of the diagonals and a null detector in another. Later on, this concept was extended to include this bridge supplied from a constant current source, unbalanced one (with a voltmeter instead of null detector) or AC Wheatstone bridge. A new concept also appeared, the Wheatstone half-bridge (more correct, “arm-pair”), having two series connected similar impedances (resistors, inductors or capacitors) and associated with other measuring circuits, involving various effects (inductive, capacitive, magnetoresistive, galvanomagnetic, magnetoelastic or biparametric).
