    Question about using a wheatstone bridge to measure changes in resistance

    so you are saying the only reason to use a wheatstone bridge is to remove the effect of temperature? In my experiment, I need to measure how the resistance of a strain gauge varies with changes to the temperature of the specimen material, so does this mean I do not need to use a wheatstone bridge?

    Question about using a wheatstone bridge to measure changes in resistance

    Hi I need to measure the small changes in resistance of a strain gauge. I have read that a wheatstone bridge circuit is used to do this.. but I don't understand why I can't just use a milliammeter to measure the change in current through the strain gauge and then use R=V/I to find the new...
