In a potentiometer, the area of cross-section of the wire is $4 \, cm^2$, the current flowing in the circuit is $1 \, A$ and the potential gradient is $7.5 \, V/m$, then the resistivity of the potentiometer wire is

  • A
    $3 \times 10^{-3} \, \Omega \cdot m$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-6} \, \Omega \cdot m$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-2} \, \Omega \cdot m$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-4} \, \Omega \cdot m$

The balancing length for a cell is $560 \, cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms, is

The accurate measurement of $emf$ can be obtained using

In the figure,the potentiometer wire $AB$ of length $L$ and resistance $9r$ is joined to the cell $D$ of $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$. The cell $C$'s $emf$ is $\frac{\varepsilon}{2}$ and its internal resistance is $2r$. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AJ$ is

For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$,a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega$ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire,then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.

$A$ 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:
