$A$ potentiometer wire $AB$ having length $L$ and resistance $12r$ is joined to a cell $D$ of $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$. $A$ cell $C$ having $emf$ $\varepsilon/2$ and internal resistance $3r$ is connected as shown in the figure. The length $AJ$ at which the galvanometer shows no deflection is

  • A
    $\frac{11}{12}L$
  • B
    $\frac{11}{24}L$
  • C
    $\frac{13}{24}L$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{12}L$

$A$ potentiometer wire is $4 \,m$ long and a potential difference of $3 \,V$ is maintained between its ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $100 \,cm$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $V$)

$AB$ is a potentiometer wire as shown in the figure. If the value of $R$ is increased,in which direction will the balance point $J$ shift?

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 $\Omega$)

Resistance of $100 \, cm$ long potentiometer wire is $10 \, \Omega$. It is connected to a battery of $2 \, V$ and a resistance $R$ in series. $A$ source of $10 \, mV$ gives a null point at $40 \, cm$ length. The value of external resistance $R$ is ........... $\Omega$.

In the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).
