Question
Inductance is measured by
Correct answer
(B) Maxwell bridge
Solution
- Maxwell bridge is specifically used for the measurement of medium inductance (coils with ).
- Schering bridge is used for measuring capacitance and dissipation factor.
- Kelvin bridge is used for measuring very low resistances.
- Wien bridge is primarily used for measuring frequency and can also measure capacitance.

AI-powered practice· Unlimited practice on eligible plans
- PYQs with solutions
- Attempt available previous-year questions, then compare your reasoning with the worked solution. Coverage varies by stream.
- Practice that adapts
- Choose a topic, work on weaker areas and bookmark questions to revisit. Your attempts feed your progress tracking.
- AI doubt support
- Ask follow-up questions about a step or concept while practising, instead of stopping at the final answer.
