In potentiometer experiments,two cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ are connected in series $(E_1 > E_2)$,the balancing length is $64 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $32 \ cm$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

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

In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by a potentiometer,it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega$ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is,then ................ $\Omega$.

The accurate measurement of $emf$ can be obtained using

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter because

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing point with a cell is at a length $240 \ cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes $120 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $Omega$)

$A$ 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 ............... $\Omega$.
