  • elektrisillaahel, mida kasutatakse tundmatu elektritakistuse mõõtmiseks, tasakaalustades sillaahela kahte õlga, mille üks õlg sisaldab tundmatut takistuskomponenti
  • mõõtesild, mis on ette nähtud ühte õlga moodustava takisti elektritakistuse mõõtmiseks, ülejäänud kolm õlga on takistid, millest vähemalt ühe takistuse väärtus on reguleeritav
  • electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance by balancing two legs of a bridge circuit, one leg of which includes the unknown component
  • measuring bridge intended to measure the value of a resistor which forms one of the arms, the other three arms being resistors, at least one of which is adjustable
neljaõlaline sild preferred
Usage examples
  • Neljaõlaline sild illustreerib vahe mõõteprintsiipi, mis võib olla ülimalt täpne ja mille tõttu neljaõlalise silla võimalikke kombinatsioone saab kasutada mahtuvuse, induktiivsuse, impedantsi ja muude suuruste mõõtmiseks.
Wheatstone bridge preferred
Usage examples
  • The Wheatstone bridge illustrates the concept of a difference measurement, which can be extremely accurate. Variations on the Wheatstone bridge can be used to measure capacitance, inductance, impedance and other quantities, such as the amount of combustible gases in a sample, with an explosimeter.
