SUMMARY
The balancing condition in a Wheatstone bridge does not change when using an AC source instead of a battery. However, a galvanometer, typically used as a detector, will not indicate movement under AC conditions. An AC meter is required for accurate measurements, though it may lack the sensitivity of a galvanometer. Specialized instruments known as AC bridges are available, which can measure impedance, inductance, and equivalent series resistance (ESR) at selected frequencies and amplitudes.
