The adaptation of a bridge circuit due to M. Wien together with apparatus and procedure is described which permits measurement of capacitance in terms of resistance and frequency with an accuracy comparable to that of the primary standards. Among its advantages over the Maxwell method commonly employed are the use of a single frequency voltage and the fact that there is no general limitation placed on the type of condenser which may be measured or on the frequency at which the measurement may be made. The method is also applicable to the determination of inductance since its unit, like that of capacitance, may be derived from the units of resistance and frequency.
