Yes, I think that's how it works!

Yes, that is almost exactly what is meant, except that the resistances were taken across the spaces between resistors rather than across them. Imagine moving the red lead to the nearest end of R1 and the black lead to the other end of R2, a slight counterclockwise shift for both leads. Then...

We clamped at the end of one resistor and the beginning of the other. Imagine the resistances encompassing the points of the bridge.

Each resistor is separated by the same value, ~ 750 Ohms. http://web.deu.edu.tr/mechatronics/TUR/strain_gauge.htm This is a general picture, but fits the circuit to a T.

Homework Statement Given your average Wheatstone Bridge with R1 R2 and R3 unknown resistor values and R4=RG= strain gauge, how to solve for the resistor values given only input voltage and the value of the resistances between the resistors?[/B]Homework Equations Not Sure[/B]The Attempt at a...

Thanks- already tried that. Also have instructor notes so I see how to handle it, but not why.

Homework Statement I have a quantity in Rayleighs and need to convert it to dB. Homework Equations Intensity Reflection Coefficient R=5.625 x 10^-1 Rayls. dB? The Attempt at a Solution None so far-please advise. Thanks.

Thank You!

Hello PF'ers, Does anyone have insight on the best way to learn Signal Processing? I am new to the subject and feel totally lost in my course. Our professor has a teaching style that doesn't work for me. He isn't teaching from a textbook and the notes don't fully explain things. Successful...

Hi Snowman, I think it is probably a bit of both. You have made me think. Perhaps I'll start reviewing basic circuit theory.

Hello all, I was dreadful at circuits and am now suffering in Electronics. It is almost as though I have trouble looking at them from the perspective of what I have to do when presented with a problem. I sort of freeze. It doesn't help that my professor is conversational in tone without a lot of...

void(main) { ifstream inFile; inFile.open("PORTLAND-ME.txt"); inFile>>year>>month>>day>>etc, etc } Nothing profound. This file exists in my computer as named. Not sure why VS can't find it. }

Hi Mark44, Thanks for your reply. I am aware that Visual Studio is not a language :) I am coding in C++. How does one include the full path to a file, anyway?

Homework Statement I am trying to write a program in Visual Studio that opens a file downloaded to my computer. I have downloaded the file but Visual Studio can't seem to find it. Anyone know what I need to do? TIA! Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution
