wheatstone bridge in English

noun
1
a simple circuit for measuring an unknown resistance by connecting it so as to form a quadrilateral with three known resistances and applying a voltage between a pair of opposite corners.
The principle of measurement is similar to that of the Wheatstone bridge in electronics, in which an accurate measurement is made by comparing the unknown value against the value of a calibrated component.
