When a cell of $E$.$M$.$F$. '$E_1$' is connected to a potentiometer wire, the balancing length is '$l_1$'. Another cell of $E$.$M$.$F$. '$E_2$' $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected along with $E_1$ such that the two cells oppose each other, and the balancing length is '$l_2$'. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is

  • A
    $(l_1 + l_2) : (l_1 - l_2)$
  • B
    $(l_1 + l_2) : (l_2)$
  • C
    $(l_1) : (l_1 - l_2)$
  • D
    $(l_1 - l_2) : (l_1 + l_2)$

$A$ uniform conducting wire $AB$ of length $5 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$ is connected as shown in the circuit. If the balancing point is obtained at $3 \, m$ from $A$, then the value of $E$ is. (in $ \, V$)

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient. The specific resistance (resistivity) of the material of the potentiometer wire is $10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$, the current passing through it is $0.1 \, A$, and the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6} \, m^2$. The potential gradient along the potentiometer wire is:

$A$ wire of length $100\, cm$ is connected to a cell of emf $2\, V$ and negligible internal resistance. The resistance of the wire is $3\, \Omega$. The additional resistance required to produce a potential difference of $1\, mV/cm$ is ............. $\Omega$.

To determine the internal resistance of a cell by using a potentiometer,the null point is at $1 \ m$,when shunted by $3 \ \Omega$ resistance and at a length $1.5 \ m$,when cell is shunted by $6 \ \Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is (in $\Omega$)
