In a potentiometer experiment, a cell of emf $1.25 \,V$ gives a balancing length of $30 \,cm$. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balancing length is found to be $40 \,cm$. What is the emf of the second cell?

  • A
    $ \simeq 1.57 \,V $
  • B
    $ \simeq 1.67 \,V $
  • C
    $ \simeq 1.47 \,V $
  • D
    $ \simeq 1.37 \,V $

$A$ voltmeter reads the potential difference across the terminals of an old battery as $1.2 \, V$,while a potentiometer reads $1.4 \, V$. The internal resistance of the battery is $40 \, \Omega$. What is the resistance of the voltmeter in $\Omega$?

In a potentiometer experiment, a null point is obtained at a particular point for a cell on a potentiometer wire of length '$x$' cm. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by a few cm without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $\Omega$)?

$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series $(i)$ to support each other and $(ii)$ to oppose each other are balanced over $6 \ m$ and $2 \ m$ respectively on the potentiometer wire. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$s of the cells is:
