Concept:

AC bridges are used for measurement of various parameters such as inductance, capacitance, resistance, and frequency. Each bridge is suited for a particular application.

Wien’s Bridge is specifically designed to measure unknown frequency. It consists of a combination of resistors and capacitors in a particular arrangement such that the balance condition depends on frequency.

The frequency of an unknown source is calculated using the balance condition: \[ f = \frac{1}{2\pi R C} \]

Other Options:

  • Kelvin’s Double Bridge – used for measuring very low resistance.
  • De Sauty’s Bridge – used for comparing two capacitors.
  • Maxwell’s Bridge – used for measuring inductance using a standard capacitor.
