What is a potentiometer?
• This is a very basic instrument used for comparing emf two cells and for calibrating ammeter, voltmeter and watt-meter.

General Principle of potentiometer
• Suppose we have connected two batteries in head to head and tale to tale through a galvanometer.
• That means the positive terminals of both batteries are connected together and negative terminals are also connected together through a galvanometer as shown in the figure

• If the voltage of both battery cells is exactly equal, there will be no circulating current in the circuit and hence the galvanometer shows null deflection.
• The working principle of potentiometer depends upon this phenomenon.

Basic of slide wire potentiometer(contd…)
• Think about a circuit, where a battery is connected across a resistor via a switch and a rheostat as shown in the figure, there will be a voltage drop across the resistor.
• As there is a voltage drop across the resistor, this portion of the circuit can be considered as a voltage source for other external circuits.
• That means anything connected across the resistor will get voltage.

Basic of slide wire potentiometer(contd…)
• If the resistor has uniform cross section throughout its length, the electrical resistance per unit length of the resistor is also uniform throughout its length.
• Hence, voltage drop per unit length of the resistor is also uniform.
• Suppose the electric current through the resistor is i A and resistance per unit length of the resistor is r Ω.
• Then the voltage appears per unit length across the resistor would be 'ir' ans say it is v volt.

Basic of slide wire potentiometer(contd…)
• Now, positive terminal of a standard cell is connected to point A on the sliding resistor and negative terminal of the same is connected with a galvanometer.
• Other end of the galvanometer is in contact with the resistor via a sliding contact as shown in the figure above.
• By adjusting this sliding end, a point like B is found where, there is no current through the galvanometer, hence no deflection of galvanometer.
• That means emf of the standard cell is just balanced by the voltage drop appears across AB.

Basic of slide wire potentiometer(contd…)
• Now if the distance between point A and B is L, then it can be written emf of standard cell E = Lv volt.
• As v (voltage drop per unit length of the sliding resistor) is known and L is measured from the scale attached to the resistor, the value of E i.e. emf of standard cell can also be calculated from the above simple equation very easily.

Principle of of slide wire potentiometer(contd…)
• Two cells whose emf's are to be compared are joined as shown in the figure below.
• The positive terminals of the cells and source battery are joined together.
• The negative terminals of the cells are joined with the galvanometer in turn through a two way switch.
• The other end of the galvanometer is connected to a sliding contact on the resistor.

Principle of of slide wire potentiometer(contd…)
• By adjusting sliding contact on the resistor, it is found that the null deflection of galvanometer comes for first cell at a length of L on the scale and after positioning to way switch to second cell and then by adjusting the sliding contact, it is found that the null deflection of galvanometer comes for that cell at a length of L1 on the scale.

• Draw back of slide wire potentiometer is that its accuracy depends on uniformity of the wire
• Crompton dc potentiometer is a modified form of slide wire potentiometer where calibrated slide resistors with a small circular wire of one or more turns thus reducing the size of the equipment
• The effect of very long slide wire is obtained by connecting a number of resistance coils in series with a comparatively short wire

AC potentiometers
• The principle of a.c potentiometer is the same as that of the d.c potentiometer.
• The most important difference between d.c and a.c potentiometer is that in d.c potentiometer only the magnitude of the unknown emf and potentiometer voltage drop have to be made equal to obtain balance.
• In a.c potentiometer both magnitude and phase of two have to be same to obtain balance.

AC potentiometers
The basic requirement for the operation.
• Equality of voltage being compared at all instant these require equal phase and magnitude at all instants.
• In other words the frequency and waveform of the current in the potentiometer circuit must be same as the voltage measured.
• A vibrational galvanometer is usually used as a detector in a a.c potentiometer it is a tuned device ie, responding to one frequency in presence of harmonics balance may never be achieved only a minimum deflection point is achieved.
• Stray emf picked up from stray fields or coupling between portions of the potentiometer circuit seriously affect the result.
• Imperfect standardisation procedure which contributes to an error

What is Bridge circuit?
• A bridge circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which two circuit branches (usually in parallel with each other) are "bridged" by a third branch connected between the first two branches at some intermediate point along them.
• The bridge was originally developed for laboratory measurement purposes and one of the intermediate bridging points is often adjustable when so used.
• Bridge circuits now find many applications, both linear and non-linear, including in instrumentation, filtering and power conversion.

Examples of Bridge circuit
• the Wheatstone bridge, was invented by Samuel Hunter Christie and popularized by Charles Wheatstone, and is used for measuring resistance.
• It is constructed from four resistors, two of known values R1 and R3 (see diagram), one whose resistance is to be determined Rx, and one which is variable and calibrated R2.

AC BRIDGES
• AC Bridges consist of a source, balance detector and four arms.
• In AC bridges, all the four arms consists of impedance.
• The AC bridges are formed by replacing the DC battery with an AC source and galvanometer by detector of Wheatstone bridge.
• They are highly useful to find out inductance, capacitance, storage factor, dissipation factor etc.

BASIC PRINCIPLE OF AC BRIDGES
• Here Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 are the arms of the bridge.
• Balance condition, the potential difference between b and d must be zero.
• From this, when the voltage drop from from a to d equals to drop from a to b both in magnitude and phase

Conclusion
• Following are the important conclusions that can be drawn from the above equations:
(a) We get two balanced equations that are obtained by equating real and imaginary parts this means that for an ac bridge both the relation (i.e. magnitude and phase) must be satisfied at the same time. Both the equations are said to be independent if and only if both equation contain single variable element. This variable can be inductor or resistor. (b) The above equations are independent of frequency that means we do not require exact frequency of the source voltage and also the applied source voltage waveform need not to be perfectly sinusoidal.

Wien’s parallel Bridge(contd..)
• The bridge is used for measuring frequency in the audio range. Resistances R1 and R3 can be ganged together to have identical values. Capacitors C1 and C3 are normally of fixed values.
• The audio range is normally divided into 20 - 200 - 2 k - 20 kHz range. In this case, the resistances can be used for range changing and capacitors, and C3 for fine frequency control within the range.

Wien’s parallel Bridge(contd..)
• The bridge can also be use for measuring capacitance. In that case, the frequency of operation must be known.
• The bridge is also used in a harmonic distortion analyzer, as a Notch filter, an in audio frequency and radio frequency oscillators as a frequency determine element.
• An accuracy of 0.5% - 1% can be readily obtained using this bridge. Because it is frequency sensitive, it is difficult to balance unless the waveform of the applied voltage is purely sinusoidal.
