Jembatan Dc&Ac Dan Aplikasinya: Pertemuan 9
Jembatan Dc&Ac Dan Aplikasinya: Pertemuan 9
• Measurement errors :
– Found in the limiting errors of the three known resistors
– Insufficient sensitivity of the null detector
– Changes in resistance of the bridge arms due to the heating effect of
the current through the resistors
– Thermal emfs in the bridge circuit or the galvanometer circuit (when low-
value resistors are being measured)
– Errors due to the resistance of leads and contacts exterior to the actual
bridge circuit
