Answer
[10]The bridge method commonly used for finding mutual inductance is 

[GATE 2012]

(a) Heaviside Campbell bridge
(b) Schering bridge
(c) De Sauty bridge
(d) Wien bridge

Answer
Solution Hint: Heaviside-campbell equal ratio bridge is used for measuring self-inductance in terms of mutual inductance.
Schering bridge = used for measuring capacitance and dielectric loss of a capacitor.
De Sauty bridge = used for comparing the capacitances of two capacitors.
Wien bridge = used for audio-frequency measurement of capacitors over a wide range.
