$A$ cell balances against a length of $150 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when it is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$. But when it is shunted by a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$,then the balancing length increases by $25 \ cm$. The balancing length when the cell is in an open circuit is: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $225$
  • C
    $210$
  • D
    $250$

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

The null point of a potentiometer with a cell of emf $\varepsilon$ is obtained at a distance $l$ on the wire,then

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell gives a balancing point at $75 \, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of unknown emf. If the ratio of the emf's of two cells respectively is $3:2$,the difference in the balancing length of the potentiometer wire in above two cases will be ......... $cm$.

With a potentiometer,null points were obtained at $140 \, cm$ and $180 \, cm$ with cells of $emf$ $1.1 \, V$ and one unknown $X \, V$. The unknown $emf$ is .............. $V$.

For the measurement of potential difference,a potentiometer is preferred in comparison to a voltmeter because:
