In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length is $8 \ m$ when two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ are joined in series. When two cells are connected in opposition,the balancing length is $4 \ m$. The ratio of the e.m.f. of the two cells $\left(\frac{E_1}{E_2}\right)$ is

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $1:3$
  • D
    $3:1$

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{5}$ 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 wire of length $5 \,m$. $A$ battery of emf $10 \,V$ and negligible internal resistance is connected between its ends. $A$ secondary cell connected to the circuit gives a balancing length at $200 \,cm$. The emf of the secondary cell is: (in $\,V$)

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of $emf$ $1.25\; V$ gives a balance point at $35.0\; cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $63.0\; cm ,$ what is the $emf$ of the second cell in $V$?

$A$ cell of $emf$ $2 \,V$ and internal resistance $5 \,\Omega$ is connected to a wire of length $100 \,cm$ and resistance $15 \,\Omega$. What is the potential gradient along the wire (in $,V/cm$)?

In a potentiometer experiment,it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$,a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40 \ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$.
