In a potentiometer experiment for the determination of the internal resistance of a cell,when an external resistance of $R$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length decreases by $10 \%$. The internal resistance of the cell is

  • A
    $\frac{R}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{R}{7}$
  • C
    $\frac{R}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{R}{11}$

In an experiment with a potentiometer,$V_B = 10 \, V$ and the variable resistance is adjusted to $R = 50 \, \Omega$ (figure). $A$ student wanting to measure the voltage $E_1$ of a battery (approx. $8 \, V$) finds no null point. He then diminishes $R$ to $10 \, \Omega$ and is able to locate the null point on the last $(4^{th})$ segment of the potentiometer wire. Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and the potential drop per unit length.

$A$ potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$ and the balance point is obtained at $203.6 \, cm$. When the end of the potentiometer connected to $B$ is shifted to $C$,then the balance point is obtained at $24.6 \, cm$. If now the potentiometer be connected between $B$ and $C$,the balance point will be at ................. $cm$.

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