Vedclass · Answer

(A) The potential gradient $k$ along the wire $AB$ is given by the potential difference across the wire divided by its length.Since the $6 \, V$ battery is connected directly across the $1 \, m$ wire,the potential gradient $k = \frac{6 \, V}{1 \, m} = 6 \, V/m$.When the ammeter shows zero deflection,it means no current flows through the secondary circuit containing the $4 \, V$ battery.In this condition,the potential difference across the length $AC$ of the wire must be equal to the emf of the secondary battery.Let $l_{AC}$ be the length of $AC$. Then,$V_{AC} = k 	imes l_{AC} = 4 \, V$.Substituting the value of $k$,we get $6 	imes l_{AC} = 4$.Therefore,$l_{AC} = \frac{4}{6} \, m = \frac{2}{3} \, m$.

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $\Omega$)?

The length of a potentiometer wire is $1200 \; cm$ and it carries a current of $60 \; mA$. For a cell of $emf \; 5 \; V$ and internal resistance of $20 \; \Omega$,the null point on it is found to be at $1000 \; cm$. The resistance of the whole wire is .............. $\Omega$.
