    The document describes Anderson's bridge method for measuring the self-inductance of a coil using a circuit containing the coil, standard capacitor, and various resistors. The method involves balancing the bridge circuit by adjusting variable resistors until minimum sound is heard through headphones, then using a formula to calculate the coil's inductance based on the capacitor value and resistor readings. Procedures, precautions, and a sample results table are provided to demonstrate how to implement the inductance measurement process.

    Anderson’s bridge

    Aim : - To measure the self - inductance of a given coil by Anderson’s bridge method.

    Apparatus :- Inductor, standard capacitor, resistors ( fixed resistances and variable pots
    as given in the circuit ) signal generator, head phones and connecting terminals.

    Formula :- Inductance of given coil L = C [ ( R1+ R2 ) R5 + R2R4 ] mH

    Where C = Capacity of the standard capacitor ( µ F )


    R2,R3,R4 = Known, fixed and non – inductive resistances (KΩ)
    R1, R5 = Variable resistances ( KΩ )

    Description :- Anderson’s bridge is the most accurate bridge used for the measurement
    of self – inductance over a wide range of values, from a few micro-Henries to several
    Henries. In this method the unknown self-inductance is measured in terms of known
    capacitance and resistances, by comparison. It is a modification of Maxwell’s L - C
    bridge. In this bridge, double balance is obtained by the variation of resistances only, the
    value of capacitance being fixed.

    Procedure :-The circuit diagram of the bridge is as shown in the figure. The coil whose
    self-inductance is to be determined, is connected in the arm AB, in series with a variable
    non-inductive resistor R1. Arms BC, CD and DA contain fixed and non – inductive
    resistors R2, R3 and R4 respectively. Another non - inductive resistor R5 is connected in
    series with a standard capacitor C and this combination is put in parallel with the arm
    CD. The head - phones are connected between B and E. The signal generator is
    connected between A and C junctions.

    Select one capacitor and one inductor and connect them in appropriate places using
    patch chords. The signal generator frequency is adjusted to audible range. A perfect
    Page 2 of 3

    balance is obtained by adjusting R1 and R5 alternatively till the head – phones indicate a
    minimum sound. The values of R1 and R5 are measured with a multi-meter( While
    measuring the R1 and R5 values, they should be in open circuit ).In the balance condition
    the self – inductance value of the coil is calculated by using the above formula. The
    experiment is repeated with different values of C.

    Precautions : - 1) The product (CR2R4) must always be less than L .


    2) R1 and R5 are adjusted until a minimum sound is heard in head – phones.
