13.9B: The Schering Bridge
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
This bridge can be used for measuring capacitance.
FIGURE XIII.10
The admittance of the fourth arm is 1R4+jC4ω, and its impedance is the reciprocal of this. I leave the reader to balance the bridge and to show that
R1R2=C4C3
and
C1=C3R4R2.
