electricpy.bridge_impedance(z1, z2, z3, z4, z5)[source]

Bridge Impedance Calculator.

The following condition describing the Wheatstone Bridge is utilized to ensure that current through z5 will be zero.

\[z1 \cdot z3 = z2 \cdot z4\]

Parameters:

  • z1 ([float, complex]) – Bridge impedance 1iscrl

  • z2 ([float, complex]) – Bridge impedance 2

  • z3 ([float, complex]) – Bridge impedance 3

  • z4 ([float, complex]) – Bridge impedance 4

  • z5 ([float, complex]) – Detector impedance or impedance between two bridge branches

Return type:

effective bridge impedance
