1. Derive the balance equations of the Schering bridge circuit configuration used for mea-
surement of capacitances and hence derive at the expression for loss angle of the test
capacitor. Draw the phasor diagram at balance

2. Draw a neat sketch to explain the theory and measurement of unknown inductance and
resistance by Anderson bridge. What is type of null detector used in this bridge? What
are the sources of errors? Draw phasor diagram at balanced condition

3. For the Wheatstone bridge circuit of Figure given below solve the following problems:

(a) If R1 = 1Ω, R2 = 2Ω, and Rx = 3Ω, to what value should R3 be adjusted so as to

achieve a balanced condition?

(b) If V0 = 6V, Ra = 0.1Ω, and Rx were then to deviate by a small amount to Rx = 3.01Ω,
what would be the reading on the ammeter?
