Question Number 28854 by tawa tawa last updated on 31/Jan/18
The arms of an ac maxwell bridge are arranged as follows:  AB  is a non - active  resistance of   1000 Ω  in parallel with a capacitor of capacitance of   0.5μF ,  BC  is a non - inductive resistance of  600 Ω,   CD is inductive impedance (unknown)  and DA  is a non - inductive resustance of  400 Ω.  If balance is obtained under  these conditions. Find the value of the resistance and the inductance of the  branch  CD  and show the circuit diagram.
