This experiment measures capacitance using a Schering bridge circuit. The circuit contains a capacitor C1 whose capacitance is to be measured, along with known standard capacitors C2 and C4, and variable resistors R3 and R4. At balance, the circuit equations relate the values of C1, C2, C3, R3 and R4. Measurements are taken at different frequencies using known values for C2, C4, R3, and R4. The measured and true values of C1 are compared to calculate the error. The results show good agreement between the measured and true values of C1, demonstrating the success of using a Schering bridge circuit to measure capacitance.

EXPERIMENT NAME: Measurement of Capacitance by Schering Bridge
THEORY:

Fig. 1 Circuit diagram for measurement of Capacitance by Schering Bridge

Let, C1 = capacitor whose capacitance is to be measured.


r1 = a series resistance representing the loss in the capacitor C1.
C2 = a standard capacitor.
R3 = a non-inductive resistance.
C4 = a variable capacitor.
R4 = a variable non inductive resistance.

At balance,

[r1 + 1/(jωC1)] ⨯ [R4/(jωC4R4 + 1)] = R3/(jωC2) ......(1)


r1R4 − jR4/(ωC1) = −jR3/(ωC2) + R3R4C4/C2 ......(2)
Or Equating the real and imaginary terms in eqn. (2), we obtain
r1=R3⋅C4/C2 ......(3)
C1=R4⋅C2/R3 ......(4)
And, two independent balance equations (3) and (4) are obtained if C 4 and R4 are chosen as
the variable elements. Dissipation factor
D1 = ωC1r1 ......(5)
PROCEDURE:
1) Apply Supply voltage from the signal generator with arbitrary frequency. (V = 3 V). Also
set the unknown Capacitance value from 'Set Capacitor Value' tab.
2) Then switch on the supply to get millivoltmeter deflection.
3) Choose the values of C2, C4, R3 and R4 from the capacitance and resistance box. Vary the
values to some particular values to achieve "NULL".
4) Observe the millivoltmeter pointer to achieve "NULL".
5) If "NULL" is achieved, switch to 'Measure Capacitor Value' tab and click on 'Simulate'.
Observe the calculated values of unknown capacitance (C1) and its internal resistance (r1).
6) Also observe the Dissipation factor of the unknown capacitor which is defined as ωC 1r1,
where, ω=2πf.

experiment was successful.
