Question

What is the significance of the balance equation on losses?

(a) independent of losses in inductance

(b) independent of losses in capacitance

(c) independent of losses in resistance

(d) independent of losses in the circuit

This question was posed to me in homework.

I need to ask this question from Advantages and Limitations of Maxwell Bridge topic in section Measurement of Inductance and Capacitance of Electrical Measurements

Answer 1

Right choice is (a) independent of losses in inductance

To explain: The balance equation in a Maxwell inductance capacitance bridge is independent of the losses associated with an inductance. According to the balance equation the unknown inductance is computed as Lx = R2 R3 C1.
