The Wheatstone bridge is the fundamental bridge, but there are other modifications that can be made to measure various kinds of resistances when the fundamental Wheatstone bridge is not suitable. Some of the modifications are:
* [[Carey Foster bridge]], for measuring small resistances
* [[Kelvin bridge]], for measuring small [[Four-terminal sensing|four-terminal]] resistances
* [[Maxwell bridge]], and [[Wien bridge]] for measuring [[Electrical reactance|reactive]] components
* [[Anderson's bridge]], for measuring the self-inductance of the circuit, an advanced form of Maxwell's bridge
