What are some present-day applications of Wheatstone bridge circuits?

What will be an ideal response?


Wheatstone bridge circuits are rarely used today to measure resistance values. They are now used for designing sensing circuits such as: strain gauges for transforming a strain applied, to a proportional change of resistance and are widely used in industry; variometers to detect changes in air pressure to alerting glider pilots to updrafts or thermals so height can be gained allowing for longer flights; and explosimeters for sampling the amount of combustible gases in a space.
