第二篇:Mesure the Resistance via the Wheastone Bridge 电桥法测电阻 实验报告 英语
Measure the Resistance via the Wheastone Bridge
1.The purpose:
i. To understand the principle and characteristics of the Wheatstone bridge.
ii. To understand the concept of sensitivity of bridge.
iii. Learn the “exchange measure method”, with which to eliminate the system error.
2.The apparatus:
Unknown resistances; DC power supply; galvanometer; resistor box; variable resistor; switch and other electrical components; electrical bridge.
3.Theories:
1)The principle and the structure of the Wheatstone bridge
When UC=UD
RX=
2)The sensitivity of the Wheatstone bridge
Because of the sensitivity of the galvanometer is limited, the current through the galvanometer is not truly zero, and the galvanometer cannot efficiently measure it.
The sensitivity of the bridge is defined as the ratio between the deflection of the galvanometer, Dd, and the corresponding relative value of R0.
S=
3)The “exchange measure method”.
Exchange the positions of R1 and R2, or R0 and Rx, and adjusting R0 to R0 ¢, the bridge can get a new balanced state,and RX=
Combine this equation with RX=, we can get:
RX=
This equation has nothing to do with R1 and R2. In this way we can make the error only relate to the instrument error of R0, which is the instrument error of resistor box.
4.The procedures:
1) Use simply constructed bridge to measure the metal film resistor.
Connect the circuit and measure the resistance then exchange R0 and RX measure the resistance again.
The key points:
i. Find the balance point.
ii. Measure the sensitivity of the bridge.
iii. Exchange R0 and RX measure the resistance again.
Error analysis:
The uncertainty of R0:
apparatus=R0 apparatus=0.1%Ro+0.005(K+1)
The error caused by the sensitivity of the bridge is:
Δ=R0 (S is the sensitivity of the galvanometer)
URo=
The relative uncertainty of RX is:
= (N=1.0)
2) Use box-bridge to measure the resistance.
i. Make the reading of galvanometer back to “0” via mechanical method.
ii. Open K, press G button, adjust M and keep the galvanometer balance.
iii. Connect RX with X.
iv. Adjust the system and record the resistance R0 which make the galvanometer balance.
Error analysis:
The limit of fundamental error is:
Elim=α%(NRo+)

Δ=NR0
The relative uncertainty of RX is:

Discussion:
In the 1st test, “use simply constructed bridge to measure the metal film resistor”. As we can see that the “exchange measure method” eliminated the error which caused by the uncertainty of R1 and R2.Thus the main error in this experiment is the instrumental error of the resistor box (URo). The instrumental error is mainly caused byR0 apparatus. The error caused by the sensitivity of the bridge (Δ) also contributes to the error URo.
From the form, we can get that R0 apparatus plays an important role in the error when the inner resistance of the galvanometer is relative small or the voltage of the power is relative larger. On the other hand, the error caused by the sensitivity of the bridge (Δ) is the main error when the inner resistance of the galvanometer is big or the voltage of the power is small.
In the 2nd test, “use box-bridge to measure the resistance”.
The main error is the fundamental error limit (Elim) and the error caused by the sensitivity of the bridge box (Δ).
We can easily get that the main error in “use box-bridge to measure the resistance” is the fundamental error limit (Elim). And the error caused by the sensitivity of the bridge box (Δ) is so small that it can be neglected.
6.Conclusions:
From this experiment we can get that:
In the 1st test, “use simply constructed bridge to measure the metal film resistor”
In the 2nd test, “use box-bridge to measure the resistance”.
What’s more, when we use simply constructed bridge to measure the resistance, we’d better use a power supply with relative high voltage and also we should use a galvanometer with small inner resistance.
While we use the box bridge, the error mainly relate to Elim, and Elim=α%(NRo+), thus it is better to measure small resistor with box bridge.
