Basic Wheatstone Full Bridge Circuit

[Vtile]

Yep. If one measures the voltage ie. with multimeter there will be fifth resistance in bridge which is not even mentioned in most of the cases. For balanced circuit it doesn't matter, but my head says it do have "significant " error factor if the measurement is done as a unbalanced state and then unknown value is calculated. I need to try have time tomorrow to derive the equation just for own interest to see with a few extreme cases how big the error is. I suspect it is pretty big in worst case scenario. Then comes the temperatures from unbalanced current flow, total resistance drop in unbalanced situation (throug 5th resistor, which is in place of e0) as it goes more and more parallel to the bridge. Let see if I have time.
