$A$ battery of internal resistance $1 \, \Omega$ and $emf$ $3 \, V$ sends a current through $1 \, m$ of uniform wire of resistance $5 \, \Omega$. The poles of a cell of $emf$ $1.4 \, V$ are connected to two points on the wire such that no current passes through this cell. The potential gradient of the wire is:
- A$2.5 \, V$
- B$2.5 \, V/m$
- C$3 \, V/m$
- D$1.5 \, V/m$

The potential difference across the ends of a potentiometer wire is constant. Two cells are connected in such a way that they first assist each other and then oppose each other. They are balanced on the potentiometer wire at lengths of $120 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. The ratio of the electromotive forces $(EMF)$ of the cells is:

View Solution$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient. The specific resistance (resistivity) of the material of the potentiometer wire is $10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$, the current passing through it is $0.1 \, A$, and the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6} \, m^2$. The potential gradient along the potentiometer wire is:

View Solution$A$ potentiometer wire has length $L$. For a given cell of emf $E$,the balancing length is $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $50 \%$,then for the same cell,the balance point is obtained at length
The length of a potentiometer wire is $2.5 \ m$ and its resistance is $8 \ \Omega$. $A$ cell of negligible internal resistance and emf of $2.5 \ V$ is connected in series with a resistance of $242 \ \Omega$ in the primary circuit. The potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $20 \ cm$ on the potentiometer wire is (in $mV$)
$A$ cell can be balanced against $110 \ cm$ and $100 \ cm$ of potentiometer wire,respectively with and without being short-circuited through a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. Its internal resistance is
