Question

Schering bridge is used to:

• A. determine capacitance
• B. determine the inductance
• C. measure low resistance
• D. measure mutual inductance

Hint:

Think "Schering = Capacitance". It's designed to measure both capacitance and dielectric loss.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The Schering bridge is a type of AC bridge used to measure the value of unknown capacitance.
It is especially useful for measuring small capacitance values and the dielectric loss of capacitors.
It compares the unknown capacitor with a known standard capacitor using balance conditions in the bridge.
Unlike other bridges like Maxwell’s (for inductance) or Kelvin’s (for low resistance), Schering bridge is uniquely suited for capacitive elements.
