In a potentiometer experiment,a wire of length $10 \ m$ and resistance $5 \ \Omega$ is connected to a cell of emf $2.2 \ V$. If the potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $660 \ cm$ on the potentiometer wire is $1.1 \ V$,then the internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

  • A
    $1.6$
  • B
    $1.4$
  • C

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $5 \, m$ and a resistance of $5 \, \Omega$. If the null point is obtained at $300 \, cm$,what is the $emf$ $E$ of the cells (connected in parallel) in $V$?

The current in the primary circuit of a potentiometer is $0.2 \, A$. The specific resistance and cross-section of the potentiometer wire are $4 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and $8 \times 10^{-7} \, m^2$ respectively. The potential gradient will be equal to .............. $V/m$.

In the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).

For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$,a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega$ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire,then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.
