  2. Four-terminal sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-terminal_sensing

    Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...

  3. Kelvin bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvin_bridge

    The operation of the Kelvin bridge is very similar to the Wheatstone bridge, but uses two additional resistors. Resistors R 1 and R 2 are connected to the outside potential terminals of the four terminal known or standard resistor R s and the unknown resistor R x (identified as P 1 and P′ 1 in the diagram).

  4. Contact resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_resistance

    Because contact resistance is usually comparatively small, it can be difficult to measure, and four-terminal measurement gives better results than a simple two-terminal measurement made with an ohmmeter. In a two-terminal measurement (as with a typical ohmmeter), the current used to make the measurement is injected through the measurement leads ...

  5. Circuit topology (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_topology_(electrical)

    In particular, for networks which contain only two-terminal devices, circuit topology can be viewed as an application of graph theory. In a network analysis of such a circuit from a topological point of view, the network nodes are the vertices of graph theory, and the network branches are the edges of graph theory.

  6. Ohmmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohmmeter

    An analog ohmmeter. An ohmmeter is an electrical instrument that measures electrical resistance (the opposition offered by a circuit or component to the flow of electric current). Multimeters also function as ohmmeters when in resistance-measuring mode. An ohmmeter applies current to the circuit or component whose resistance is to be measured.
