How a Wheatstone Bridge Works - DC to Daylight

In this DC to Daylight episode, Derek explains the basics of a Wheatstone bridge, how it works, what happens when it's said to be balanced, and how to use that information to measure an unknown quantity of resistance. In addition, he tries out measuring an "unknown" resistor using a fairly old Wheatstone bridge, so old that it's mounted in a wooden box and made of Bakelite plastic!

Naturally, Derek needs to check out what's going on inside this cool piece of vintage tech, so he does a teardown as well.
