Question

What is the significance of Anderson bridge with respect to Q factor?

(a) difficult to balance the bridge

(b) easy to balance the bridge

(c) intermediate balance can be achieved

(d) no balance can be done

The question was posed to me in an interview.

My doubt is from Anderson Bridge, Advantages & Disadvantages of Anderson Bridge topic in chapter Measurement of Inductance and Capacitance of Electrical Measurements

Answer 1

Correct option is (b) easy to balance the bridge

For explanation: An Anderson’s bridge is a modified form of the Maxwell bridge and is used for the measurement of unknown capacitance in terms of self-inductance of standard value. It is easy to achieve balance condition in an Anderson bridge.
