Formulae

If Bridge is Balanced:
There will be no potencial difference across the terminal of the sound-sensor.

Current through the sound-sensor: 0

` C_1=frac(C_2R_4)(R_3)`

`R_1=frac(R_3C_4)(C_2)`

If Bridge is Unbalanced:

There will be some potencial difference across the terminal of the speaker.

Hence, some current will flow through the speaker and it's effect can be heared.

Instructions

Owen's Bridge Experiment :
    •Pick up resistances, capacitor, inductor, ac source and speaker from the toolbox.
    •Make connections as shown in the figure to form a Owen's bridge (red dot act as source and black dot act as destination).
    •After making the circuit click on check circuit button to check the connections.
    •Select value of capacitor and resistance R3.Now Enter value of source-voltage (in Volt), voltage-frequency(in Hz) and choose appropriate value of R2(in Ω) through slider and click on the submit button.
    •Repeat the experiment untill the bridge gets balanced.

Schering Bridge Experiment:


If Bridge is Balanced:
There will be no potencial difference across the terminal of the sound-sensor

Current through the sound-sensor: 0 Amp

`Z_1=R_1+jomegaL_1`

`Z_2=R_2+frac(1)(jomegaC_2)`

`Z_3=R_3`

`Z_4=frac(1)(jomegaC_4)`

` Z_(1)Z_4=Z_2Z_3`

Now we need to substitute the impedence value's of Owen's bridge in the above equation

Then

`(R_1+jomegaL_1)(frac(1)(jomegaC_4))=(R_2+frac(1)(jomegaC_2))R_3`

Now we need to equate the real and imaginary terms of the above equations

We get,

` L_1=R_2R_3C_4`

`R_1=frac(R_3C_4)(C_2)`

If Bridge is Unbalanced:

There will be some potencial difference across the terminal of the speaker.

Hence, some current will flow through the speaker and it's effect can be heared.
