Abstract

Various issues concerned with the design and sensitivity of the Anderson bridge are discussed. We analyse the circuit using the tools of Network Analysis to determine the conditions under which the balance may be obtained with greater sensitivity and discuss how to obtain these under practical circumstances in an undergraduate laboratory.
