AC Bridge Problem

09/22/2010 11:52 AM

An AC bridge has the following constants; arm AB, R = 900 ohm in parallel with C =

0.189 uF; BC, R = 1000 ohm; CD, R = 600 ohm; DA, C = 0.584 uF in series with an unknown resistance. Find the frequency for which this bridge is in balance and determine the value of the resistance in arm DA to produce this balance.

Our newest policy on homework is to let them go through as some of the members have expressed an interest in keeping them on the site and trying to guide the poster rather than answer it for them. Some members were upset when these questions were removed, so I opted to keep it up for those who want to help.

I'll bet your professor would not like your posting your home work problem here. You are supposed to dig this out yourself. Get with your fellow students and work it out.

i am not a student. i completed my graduation 5 years before and working in a power sector. The problem was given by my friend and he wants to get it resolved ,since i forgot the equations , i couldnt resolve it.otherwise it may not have come in this posting.......

Well remind your friend that they should define the transfer function in the La Place domain. To do this one assumes that the diode current paths are ideal diodes with no forward dropping voltage and no reverse leakage current. Next choose a nodal or mesh analysis approach for each forward bias circuit to identify the transfer response. Next replace s with jω and solve. (Remember j=√-1 and ω=2πf) If this is not enough information to start, then open the textbook. If you don't understand what the textbook says, then ask us a specific question other than solving the problem for you. If you cannot think of a question to ask other than how do you solve this, both of you should go back to your school for a refund.

Thanks for your advice. Better read some measuring instruments book.The problem is related to that.It is a problem related to schering bridge.you substitute the values to the equation , you will the answer,now i think u shud think about going back to school for studying all these things.

The idea of homework is to get the student to think on his own. He'll not have CR4 to help in the examination!

this the bridge " the wien bridge "

sol:

for balance zab*zcd = zad*Zbc.

Zab= R\\Xc >>>Xc=(1/J2pi fc ) =(1/Jwc) w >> angular frequency=2 pi f .

Zab =(R*xc)/(R+XC) == (R/(1+JRwc)) .

Zbc=R , Zcd= R .

Zad= R+(1/ Jwc) .

by subsitution in the equations , you will get the answer .

for any point not clear , iam ready to help u .

Silly me, I saw AC and bridge and immediately jumped to the idea of a bridge rectifier. You probably have the correct topology. I applaud the fact that you just set up the equations for them to solve it. But solving the equation is just the mathematics. An engineer must be able to generate the equations, particularly a power engineer that always works on analog components.

thank you very much. It is a schering bridge used for the measurement of tan delta

hi dear, thank you very much

the bridge is " the wien bridge " not "scheringbridge "

the difference C2 " scheringbridge "

and

R " wien bridge "
