    This document discusses three types of electrical measurement devices: the Wheatstone bridge, slidewire bridge, and watt-hour meter. The Wheatstone bridge is used to measure unknown resistors by balancing the bridge circuit. The slidewire bridge also measures unknown resistors using a sliding contact on a uniform wire. Finally, the watt-hour meter measures energy consumption using a disk with a constant that rotates based on power used over time. Examples are given for calculating unknown values using each type of measurement device.

    Wheatstone bridge

    Ex.1]An unknown resistor Rx as shown is to be measured by means of a


    wheatstone bridge, when the ratio arms are arranged R1= 10 ohms and R2= 1200
    ohms, balance is obtained when rheostat arm is equal to 1256 ohms, what is the
    value of the unknown resistor?
    SOLUTION
    Rx=R(R1/R2)
    =1256(10/1200)
    Rx=10.47 Ω

    Ex.2] What is the value of x when the Wheatstone’s network is balanced?


    R1= 400 Ω, R = 800 Ω, R2 = 1000 Ω, Rx = 500 Ω
    Rx=R(R1/R2)
    R1=Rx(R2/R)
    x+400 Ω=500 Ω ( 1000 Ω/800 Ω)
    x+400 Ω=625 Ω
    x=625 Ω - 400 Ω
    x=225 Ω
    Slidewire Bridge
    Ex1]An unknown resistance x as shown is measured by a slide wire bridge (a
    simple form of Wheatstone bridge) AC is a uniform wire 100 cm long and D is a
    sliding contact. Balanced is obtained when AD equals 32.5 cm. Find the value of
    the unknown resistance x.
    Rx=R[(100/s)-1]
    =100[(100/100-32.5)-1]
    Rx=48.14 Ω
    Ex.2] In a meter bridge with a standard resistance of 15 Ω in the right gap, the
    ratio of balancing length is 3:2. Find the value of the other resistance.
    SOLUTION
    Rx=15 Ω ,R:Rx=3:2
    R/Rx=3/2
    R=Rx(3/2)
    =15 Ω(3/2)
    R=22.5 Ω
    Watt-hour meter
    Ex.1]A single-phase three wire, 60 hz, 220 V, watthour-meter has a disc constant
    of 1.2. Detekne the energy recorded by the meter after 18000 revolutions of the
    disc.
    SOLUTION
    W=kN
    =1.2(18000)
    W=21.6kW
    Ex.2]The Meralco test of a 10-A wattmeter having a constant of 0.4, the disk
    makes 40 revolution in 53.6s. The average volts and amperes during this period
    are 116 V and 9.4 A. Determine the percent accuracy of this meter at this load.
    SOLUTION
    Wmeas=kN=0.4(40)=16W-hr
    Wactual=Elt
    =116 V(9.4 A) +53.6s (1hr/3600s)
    =116.23W-hr%Accuracy=(16/16.23)x100=98.58%
