The AC bridge shown is balanced (zero detector current) with Z1=100, , Z2=300, , and Z3=90-j60, . Find the unknown impedance Z4 in rectangular form.

  1. 30-j20,
  2. 231+j154,
  3. 270+j180,
  4. 270-j180,

Answer

D. 270-j180,

Solution

At balance the detector voltage is zero, so Z1/Z3=Z2/Z4, i.e. Z1Z4=Z2Z3. Z4=Z2Z3/Z1=(300, )(90-j60, )/100, =270-j180, .
