4. An AC bridge is in balance with the following constants: Z 1 has a R1 resistance of
200Ω in series with L1 =15.9 mH, Z2 has a R2 resistance of 300Ω in series with
C2=0.265 µF, and Z3 has a pure resistance of R3 =450 Ω, the oscillator of
frequency of 1 KHZ. Find the constants of Z 4, and draw the corresponding bridge
showing the values of components on it.

Answer:
Z1 =200+ j 100 Ω

Z 2=300− j600 Ω

Z3 =450 Ω
