In a potentiometer experiment,when three cells $A, B$ and $C$ are connected in series,the balancing length is found to be $420 \ cm$. If cells $A$ and $B$ are connected in series,the balancing length is $220 \ cm$ and for cells $B$ and $C$ connected in series,the balancing length is $320 \ cm$. The emf of cells $A, B$ and $C$ are respectively in the ratio of:

  • A
    $2:3:5$
  • B
    $5:4:3$
  • C
    $1:1.2:2$
  • D
    $1.2:1:2$

When a cell of e.m.f. $E_1$ is connected to a potentiometer wire,the balancing length is $\ell_1$. Another cell of e.m.f. $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected such that the two cells oppose each other,and the balancing length is $\ell_2$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is:

In an experiment with a potentiometer,$V_B = 10 \, V$ and the variable resistance is adjusted to $R = 50 \, \Omega$ (figure). $A$ student wanting to measure the voltage $E_1$ of a battery (approx. $8 \, V$) finds no null point. He then diminishes $R$ to $10 \, \Omega$ and is able to locate the null point on the last $(4^{th})$ segment of the potentiometer wire. Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and the potential drop per unit length.

$A$ potentiometer wire is $4 \text{ m}$ long and a potential difference of $2 \text{ V}$ is maintained between its ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $80 \text{ cm}$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\text{ V}$)

$A$ potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$, the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain a balance point between $X$ and $Y$, it is necessary to

$A$ 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
