QUESTION: 1

In figure, Z1 = 200∠60° Ω, Z2 = 400∠ - 90° Ω, Z3 = 300∠0°. Then Z4 for the bridge to be balanced is

Solution:

or Z4 = 600∠-150° ohm

QUESTION: 2

Frequency can be measured using

Solution: Frequency is usually represented as angular frequency ω in radians/second or as ƒ in seconds-1, also known as the unit hertz (Hz). You also can use beats per minute (BPM) and revolutions per minute (RPM) to represent frequency. Angular frequency ω (rad/sec) and ƒ (Hz) are related by the following formula: ω =2πƒ.
QUESTION: 3

Schering bridge can be used for measurement of

Solution: The Schering bridge use for measuring the capacitance of the capacitor, dissipation factor, properties of an insulator, capacitor bushing, insulating oil, and other insulating materials. It is one of the most commonly used AC bridges. The Schering bridge works on balancing the load on its arm.
QUESTION: 4

The main advantage of Owen’s bridge for measurement of unknown inductance is that
Solution: The advantages of the Owens bridge are, the unknown inductance measured is independent of frequency and doesn't require any frequency supply. The balance equation can be obtained very quickly and simply. It is used to measure a wide range of inductance in capacitance.
QUESTION: 5

The advantage of Hay’s bridge over Maxwell’s inductance–capacitance bridge is that
Solution: The bridge gives a very simple expression for calculating unknown inductors of high value. The Hay's bridge requires a low value of r4, while the Maxwell bridge requires a high value of r4.
QUESTION: 6

De Sauty’s bridge is used for the measurement of
Solution: This bridge provides us the most suitable method for comparing the two values of the capacitor if we neglect dielectric losses in the bridge circuit.
QUESTION: 7

The advantage of Anderson’s bridge over Maxwell’s bridge is that
Solution: By Anderson's bridge, one can measure inductance by utilizing other circuit components like resistors and capacitors. In Maxwell's bridge, the inductance is calculated by comparing it with a standard variable capacitance.
QUESTION: 8

Maxwell’s bridge can be used for measurement of inductance with
Solution: A Maxwell Inductance Capacitance Bridge (known as a Maxwell Bridge) is a modified version of a Wheatstone bridge that is used to measure the self-inductance of a circuit. A Maxwell bridge uses the null deflection method (also known as the “bridge method”) to calculate an unknown inductance in a circuit.
QUESTION: 9

Under balanced condition of a bridge for measuring unknown impedance, if the detector is suddenly taken out
Solution: The zero response of the detector indicates balance. At balance, no current flows through the detector, i.e., there is no potential difference across the detector, or in other words, the potentials at points B and C are the same.
QUESTION: 10

Frequency can be measured by using:
Solution: The Wien bridge is one of many standard bridges. Wien's bridge is used for precision measurement of capacitance in resistance and frequency. It was also used to measure audio frequencies.
QUESTION: 11

Maxwell’s inductance-capacitance bridge is used for measurement of inductance of :
Solution: A Maxwell bridge is a modification to a Wheatstone bridge used to measure an unknown inductance (usually of low Q value) in terms of calibrated resistance and inductance or resistance and capacitance. When the calibrated components are a parallel resistor and capacitor, the bridge is known as a Maxwell-Wien bridge.
QUESTION: 12

The advantage of Hay’s bridge over Maxwell’s inductance-capacitance bridge is because
Solution: The bridge gives very simple expression for the calculation of unknown inductors of high value. The Hay's bridge requires a low value of r4 while the Maxwell bridge requires a high value of r4.
QUESTION: 13

In D’Sauty’s bridge (unmodified form), it is :
Solution: De Sauty Bridge is a very simple type of AC Bridge used to measure capacitance. Here we measure unknown capacitance in terms of known capacitance and known resistance. Hence, we design a De Sauty Bridge by using two known resistances (R1 and R4), one known capacitance (C2), and one unknown capacitance (C3).

Tuned detectors are used in the frequency range of ________.
Solution: Tuned amplifier circuits are used as detectors in the low-frequency range. The low-frequency range usually ranges from 10 Hz to 100 Hz in AC bridges.
QUESTION: 19

AC bridge is an outcome of ________.
Solution: Wheatstone bridge is the simplest form of the bridge for measuring resistance and forms the basis for an AC bridge. Kelvin bridge is used to measure low resistance, and a megger is used for the measurement of high resistances.

What is the frequency range for a headphone as a detector?
Solution: Headphones can be used as detectors in AC bridges in the low audio frequency range. The common audio frequency range varies from 250 Hz to 4 kHz.
QUESTION: 21

The Wien’s bridges are suitable for the measurement of the frequency of the range of
Solution: Wien's bridge is suitable for measuring frequencies from 100 Hz to 100 kHz. It is possible to obtain an accuracy of 0.1 to 0.5 percent. Because of its frequency sensitivity, the Wien's bridge may be challenging to balance unless the applied voltage waveform is sinusoidal.
QUESTION: 22

For single frequency value, the most sensitive detector is ________.
Solution: A vibration galvanometer is used for detecting the balance condition. The oscillator is used as a source of the supply voltage. The tuned detector is the most sensitive detector for a single frequency value.
