Two cells of e.m.f.s $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When the potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.60 \ m$. On connecting the potentiometer between $A$ and $C$,the balancing length is $0.90 \ m$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

  • A
    $5:4$
  • B
    $4:3$
  • C

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 $\Omega$?

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $4 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with a resistance of $992 \, \Omega$ and a cell of e.m.f. $4 \, V$ with internal resistance $3 \, \Omega$. The length of $0.75 \, m$ on the potentiometer wire balances the e.m.f. of (in $ \, mV$)

Two cells $A$ and $B$ are connected in the secondary circuit of a potentiometer one at a time,and the balancing lengths are $400 \ cm$ and $440 \ cm$ respectively. The emf of cell $A$ is $1.08 \ V$. The emf of the second cell $B$ in volts is:

In the given figure,a battery $E$ is balanced on $55 \, cm$ length of a potentiometer wire. When a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel with the battery,it balances on $50 \, cm$ length of the potentiometer wire. The internal resistance $r$ of the battery is ............. $\Omega$.
