SUMMARY

The impedance of an inductor in a Wheatstone bridge can be expressed using the formula Z = jωL, where Z is the impedance, j is the imaginary unit, ω is the angular frequency, and L is the inductance. In the context of the discussion, the change in inductance (delta L) affects the output voltage (vo) in relation to the input voltage (vi). The ratio of these voltages can be determined by analyzing the changes in inductance due to sensor displacement, specifically in terms of delta L/L.

Hi Bertrodriguez, welcome to PF!:smile:

As per forum rules (which you agreed to when you signed up for your account!), you must provide some attempt at a solution, or at least explain where you are stuck. We are not here to do your homework for you.

If you haven't already done so, I'd begin by reading the sections of your text on inductors and impedance, and then write down the equation for impedance...
