Module-1

1.a. The expression for the mean torque of an electrodynamometer type of wattmeter is given by $T_{d} \alpha M^{a} E^{b} Z^{c}$ where M = mutual inductance between fixed and moving coils, E = applied voltage and Z = Impedance of load circuit. Determine the values of a, b, and c using dimensional analysis and write the equation for $T_{d}$.

2.b. An DC bridge has the following braches :

Arm ab : an unknown impedance $(R_{1} , L_{1})$ in series with a non inductive variable resistor $r_{1}$.
Arm bc : a non inductive resistor $R_{3} =100 \Omega$.
Arm cd : a non inductive resistor $R_{4} =200 \Omega$
Arm da : a non inductive resistor $R_{2} =250 \Omega$
Arm dc : a non inductive variable resistor r,
Arm ec :lossless capacitor $c = 1 \mu F$ and
Arm be : a detector

An AC supply is connected between a and C. Calculate resistance $R_{1}$ and inductance $L_{1}$ under balance condition. $r_{1} = 43.1 \Omega$ and $r = 229.7 \Omega$.
