Varying Resistors in Bridge Circuits?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In bridge circuits, when all four resistors are equal, the system response stabilizes, leading to a balanced condition. The inclusion of a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) as one of the resistors introduces temperature sensitivity, affecting the overall circuit response. The equal resistance condition simplifies analysis and allows for predictable behavior in the circuit. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for applications involving temperature measurement and control.

What is the context of the question? Is this for schoolwork?
 
no I've just been taught about it and I am just wondering what happens to the system.
