Thevenin equivalent for wheatstone bridge

AI Thread Summary
To find the Thevenin equivalent resistances for a Wheatstone bridge, one must calculate the open circuit voltage and the short circuit current of the bridge. The discussion highlights a lack of understanding of these fundamental concepts, suggesting a need for a review of basic circuit theory. Despite extensive searches for resources, clarity on the procedures remains elusive for some users. The conversation emphasizes the importance of grasping foundational electrical engineering principles to tackle more complex configurations. Understanding these basics is crucial for successfully applying Thevenin's theorem to a Wheatstone bridge.

Are you telling us that you cannot calculate the open circuit voltage and the shorted circuit current of the bridge? Back to Circuits 101 for you.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
