The area of cross-section of a potentiometer wire is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2$. The potential difference per unit length of the potentiometer wire when it is connected to a cell of negligible internal resistance and a resistor in series is $0.15 \ Vm^{-1}$. If the current through the potentiometer wire is $0.3 \ A$,then the resistivity of the material of the potentiometer wire is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-6} \ \Omega \ m$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega \ m$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{-6} \ \Omega \ m$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega \ m$

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:

$A$ thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V/^{\circ}C$ in the linear range of temperature. $A$ galvanometer of resistance $10\,\Omega$ whose sensitivity is $1\,\mu A/\text{div}$ is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be (in $^{\circ}C$)

$A$ wire,$10 \ m$ long,has a resistance of $40 \ \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance box of resistance $R$ and a $2 \ V$ storage cell. If the potential gradient along the wire is $0.1 \ mV/cm$,then the value of $R$ is (in $\Omega$)

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $100 \ cm$ and is connected to a cell of $emf \ E$. It is used to measure the $emf \ E_0$ of a battery with an internal resistance of $0.5 \ \Omega$. If the balance point is obtained at a distance of $\ell = 30 \ cm$ from the positive terminal,the $emf \ E_0$ of the battery is:

The length of a potentiometer wire is $l$. $A$ cell of $emf$ $E$ is balanced at a length $l/3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $l/2$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?
