In a potentiometer experiment,the galvanometer shows no deflection when a cell is connected across $60 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $6 \ \Omega$,the balance is obtained across $50 \ cm$ of the wire. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.

  • A
    $0.5$
  • B
    $0.6$
  • C
    $1.2$

Resistance of $100 \, cm$ long potentiometer wire is $10 \, \Omega$. It is connected to a battery of $2 \, V$ and a resistance $R$ in series. $A$ source of $10 \, mV$ gives a null point at $40 \, cm$ length. The value of external resistance $R$ is ........... $\Omega$.

For a cell,the balancing length is $0.60 \, m$. For another cell having an electromotive force $(emf)$ $0.1 \, V$ less than the first one,the balancing length is $0.55 \, m$. What are the $emf$ values of the two cells?

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of emf $1.20\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf $1.80\, V$. The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be $....cm$.

Explain the method to measure the internal resistance of a cell using a potentiometer.

$A$ cell can be balanced against $110 \, cm$ and $100 \, cm$ of potentiometer wire,respectively with and without being short-circuited through a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$. Its internal resistance is ............... $\Omega$.
