Maxwell Inductance Capacitance Bridge

In this bridge arrangement, the value of unknown inductance is measured by comparison with a variable standard capacitor. Figure 2.13 shows its circuit arrangement and phasor diagram. Two arms bc and ad consist of non-inductive resistance R2 and R3. One of the arms ac consists of variable standard capacitor C4 connected in parallel to a non-inductive resistance R4. The remaining arm ab consists of unknown inductance Lx of effective resistance Rx. A source of current is applied to two opposite junctions across ac and a null detector is connected to the other two junctions b and d. Hence, the impedances of four arms are

                                      Z1 = Rx + jwLx

                                     Z2 = R2

                                     Z3 = R3
