A bridge is a sensitive device used to measure resistance, capacitance, or inductance when great accuracy of measurement is desired. Bridges are commonly used for measuring the reactance of components and for accurately determining audio frequencies. Bridge circuits for component measurement include a source of a-c or d-c voltage; an indicating device, usually a sensitive galvanometer or headphones; an adjustable standard, usually a resistor or capacitor; the component whose value is to be measured; and a method of determining how much the unknown value differs from the standard.
