Question

Anderson bridge is a modified form of ________

(a) Wheatstone’s bridge

(b) Maxwell bridge

(c) Kelvin double bridge

(d) Schering bridge

The question was asked in class test.

This interesting question is from Anderson Bridge, Advantages & Disadvantages of Anderson Bridge topic in chapter Measurement of Inductance and Capacitance of Electrical Measurements

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Maxwell bridge

The explanation: The Anderson’s bridge is a modified form of Maxwell’s bridge which is used for the measurement of self-inductances in terms of standard capacitance value. Wheatstone bridge and Kelvin bridge are used for the measurement of medium and low resistances respectively.
