Derive expressions for the Thévenin voltage and resistance “seen” by the detector in the Wheatstone bridge in Figure 2.66. (In other words, remove the detector from the circuit and determine the Thévenin resistance for the remaining two-terminal circuit.) What is the value of the Thévenin voltage when the bridge is balanced?
