In a potentiometer experiment,two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are used in series and in conjunction,and the balancing length is found to be $58 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $29 \ cm$. The ratio $\frac{E_1}{E_2}$ of the $e.m.f.$ of the two cells is: (in $:1$)

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

$A$ potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is $k \, V/cm$ and the ammeter present in the circuit reads $1.0 \, A$ when the two-way key is switched off. The balance points,when the key between the terminals $(i)$ $1$ and $2$ and $(ii)$ $1$ and $3$ is plugged in,are found to be at lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively. The magnitudes of the resistors $R$ and $X$ in ohms are equal to:

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 such that the two cells oppose each other,then the balancing length is $l_2$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is

$A$ battery of emf $10 \, V$ is connected to a uniform wire $AB$ of $1 \, m$ length and having a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ in series with a $10 \, \Omega$ resistor as shown in the figure.
