WHEATSTONE BRIDGE • The Wheatstone bridge circuit is used to precisely measure resistance of medium values, that is in the range of 1Ω to 1MΩ. • The bridge circuit consists of four resistors, a dc voltage source and a detector.
WHEATSTONE BRIDGE • Determine when a bridge is balanced • Determine an unknown resistance with a balanced bridge. Commonly used in conjunction with transducers to measure physical quantities such as strain, temperature, and pressure. Transducers – sense a change in physical parameter and convert that change into an electrical quantity such as a change in resistance.
When the bridge is balanced: • Combining these equation, gives
DELTA-WYE (PI-TEE) CIRCUIT • If the galvanometer in Wheatstone bridge is replace with its equivalent resistance Rm,
The resistor R1, R2 and Rm (or R3, Rm and Rx) are referred as a delta (∆) interconnection. It also is referred as a pi (π) interconnectionbecause the ∆ can be shaped into a π without disturbing the electrical equivalence of the two configurations.
The resistors R1, Rm and R3(or R2, Rm and Rx) are referred as a wye (Y) interconnection because it can be shaped to look like the letter Y. The Y configuration also referred as a tee (T) interconnection.
Using series and parallel simplifications in Δ-connected, yield
The expression for the three Δ-connected resistors as functions of three Y-connected resistors are

Example 1 • Find the current and power supplied by the 40V sources in the circuit shown below.
We can find this equivalent resistance easily after replacing either the upper Δ (100, 125, 25Ω) or the lower Δ (40, 25, 37.5Ω) with its equivalent Y. • We choose to replace the upper Δ. Thus,
Find no load value of vo. • Find vo when RL = 150kΩ • How much power is dissipated in the 25kΩ resistor if the load terminals are accidentally short-circuited?
