In the arrangement shown in the figure,when the switch $S_2$ is open,the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = L/2$. When the switch $S_2$ is closed,the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = 5L/12$. The internal resistance $(r)$ of the $6\, V$ cell and the $emf$ $E$ of the other battery are respectively:

  • A
    $3\,\Omega, 8\,V$
  • B
    $2\,\Omega, 12\,V$
  • C
    $2\,\Omega, 24\,V$
  • D
    $3\,\Omega, 12\,V$

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $L$ and a resistance $r$ are connected in series with a battery of e.m.f. $E_0$ and a resistance $r_1$. An unknown e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $l$ of the potentiometer wire. The e.m.f. $E$ will be given by

Two cells having unknown e.m.f.s $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ $(E_{1} > E_{2})$ are connected in a potentiometer circuit so as to assist each other. The null point is obtained at $490 \ cm$ from the higher potential end. When cell $E_{2}$ is connected so as to oppose cell $E_{1}$,the null point is obtained at $90 \ cm$ from the same end. The ratio of the e.m.f.s of the two cells $(\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}})$ is:
