The area of cross-section of a potentiometer wire is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2$. The potential difference per unit length of the potentiometer wire when it is connected to a cell of negligible internal resistance and a resistor in series is $0.15 \ Vm^{-1}$. If the current through the potentiometer wire is $0.3 \ A$,then the resistivity of the material of the potentiometer wire is:
- A$4 \times 10^{-6} \ \Omega \ m$
- B$3 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega \ m$
- C$3 \times 10^{-6} \ \Omega \ m$
- D$4 \times 10^{-7} \ \Omega \ m$

View SolutionTwo 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:
