285. Which of the following can be considered to be the advantages of Maxwell's inductance-capacitance bridge when compared to other types of bridges? I. Balance equation of real part is independent of that of imaginary part. 2. Frequency terms does not figure in the equation. 3. When balance is achieved, the value of capacitance multiplied by resistances gives the value of inductance. The bridges is capable of measuring 'Q' of coil of a very wide range, that is, from 1 to 200. Select the correct answer using the codes given below :Codes :
