Question

Anderson’s bridge makes use of a variable capacitance.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question in an interview for internship.

Enquiry is from Anderson Bridge, Advantages & Disadvantages of Anderson Bridge in section Measurement of Inductance and Capacitance of Electrical Measurements

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: An Anderson’s bridge makes use of a fixed capacitance value. Most of the other AC bridges used for the measurement of either capacitance, inductance or impedance make use of a variable capacitance.
