Question
A Maxwell bridge, designed to measure the unknown impedance (Ru, Lu) of a coil, is
shown in Figure 7.8.
(a) Derive an expression for Ru and Lu under balance conditions.
(b) If the fixed bridge component values are R3 = 100 ohm and C =20 mF, calculate
the value of the unknown impedance if R1 = 3183 ohm and R2 = 50 ohm at balance.
(c) Calculate the Q factor for the coil if the supply frequency is 50 Hz.

shown in Figure 7.8.
(a) Derive an expression for R, and L, under balance conditions.
(b) If the fixed bridge component values are R3 = 100 Q and C = 20 µF, calculate
the value of the unknown impedance if R1 = 3183 N and R2 = 50 N at balance.
(c) Calculate the Q factor for the coil if the supply frequency is 50 Hz.

A Maxwell bridge is shown in Figure 7.8. The requirement for a variable inductance box
is avoided by introducing instead a second variable resistance. The circuit requires one
standard fixed-value capacitor, two variable resistance boxes, and one standard fixed-value
resistor, all of which are components that are readily available and inexpensive. Referring
to Figure 7.8, we have at the null-output point:
įZAD = ,ZAB ; įZpc = ½ZBC
