In the circuit shown, a four-wire potentiometer is made of a $400\, cm$ long wire, which extends between $A$ and $B$. The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is $r = 0.01\, \Omega /cm$. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey $J$ at $50\, cm$ from end $A$, the expected reading of the voltmeter will be: ............... $V$

  • A
    $0.75$
  • B
    $0.20$

The figure shows a simple potentiometer circuit for measuring a small $e.m.f.$ produced by a thermocouple. The potentiometer wire $PQ$ has a resistance of $5 \,\Omega$ and the driver cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $2 \, V$. If a balance point is obtained at $0.600 \, m$ along $PQ$ when measuring an $e.m.f.$ of $6.00 \, mV$,what is the value of resistance $R$ in $\Omega$?

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length is $8 \ m$ when two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ are joined in series. When two cells are connected in opposition,the balancing length is $4 \ m$. The ratio of the e.m.f. of the two cells $\left(\frac{E_1}{E_2}\right)$ is

$A$ null point is obtained at $200 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when a cell in the secondary circuit is shunted by $5 \ \Omega$. When a resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is used for shunting,the null point moves to $300 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

In the experiment of calibration of a voltmeter,a standard cell of $e.m.f. = 1.1 \text{ V}$ is balanced against $440 \text{ cm}$ of a potentiometer wire. The potential difference across a resistance is found to balance against $220 \text{ cm}$ of the wire. The corresponding reading of the voltmeter is $0.5 \text{ V}$. The error in the reading of the voltmeter will be ................. $V$.

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $4 \ m$ and a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. It is connected to a cell of $2 \ V$ emf. The potential gradient (potential difference per unit length) of the wire is: (in $V/m$)
