EXPERIMENT – 5
AIM – Measurement of inductance using Hays Bridge.
APPARATUS – Multisim Software.
THEORY – The Hay’s bridge is used
for determining the self-inductance of the circuit.
The bridge is the advanced form of Maxwell’s bridge.
The Maxwell’s bridge is only appropriate for
measuring the medium quality factor. Hence,
for measuring the high-quality factor the Hays
bridge is used in the circuit.
In Hay’s bridge,
the capacitor is connected in series with
the resistance, the voltage drop across
the capacitance and resistance are varied. And
in Maxwell
bridge, the capacitance is connected in parallel with
the resistance. Thus, the magnitude of a voltage pass
through the resistance and capacitor is equal.
Construction of Hay’s Bridge
The unknown inductor L1 is placed in the
arm ab along with the resistance R1. This unknown
inductor is compared with the standard
capacitor C4 connected across the arm cd. The
resistance R4 is connected in series with the
capacitor C4. The other two non-inductive
resistor R2 and R3 are connected in the
arm ad and bc respectively.
The C4 and R4 are adjusted for making the bridge in
the balanced condition. When the bridge is in a
balanced condition, no current flows through the
detector which is connected to
point b and c respectively. The potential drops
across the arm ad and cd are equal and similarly, the
potential across the arm ab and bc are equal.
Hay’s Bridge Theory
Let, L1 – unknown inductance having a resistance R1
R2, R3, R4 – known non-inductive resistance.
C4 – standard capacitor
At balance condition,
Separating
the real and imaginary term, we obtain
Solving the above
equation, we have
The quality factor of the coil is
The equation of the unknown
inductance and capacitance
consists frequency term.
Thus for finding the value of unknown inductance
the frequency of the supply must be known.
For the high-quality
factor, the frequency does
not play an important role.
Substituting the value of Q in the
equation of unknown
inductance, we get
For greater value of Q the 1/Q is neglected and
hence the equation become
Procedure -
1)Study the circuit provided on the front panel of
the kit.
2)Connect unknown inductance LX1 in the circuit.
Make all connections to complete the bridge.
3)Put the supply ON
4)Set the null point of galvanometer by adjusting
variable resistance R3.
5)Note

R3, and C4
by
removing connection by patch cords.
6)Calculate theoretical value of LX1 using
L=R2R3C4
7)Measure value of LX2 by LCR meter and compare
it.
8)Repeat process for LX2.
