In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by a potentiometer,it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega$ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is,then ................ $\Omega$.

  • A
    $1.5$
  • B
    $10$
  • C
    $15$
  • D

In a potentiometer experiment,when key $K_1$ is closed,the balance length is $100 \, cm$. What will be the balancing length when key $K_2$ is closed? ................ $cm$

$A$ cell is connected to a potentiometer,and the balancing length is obtained at $125 \ cm$. When a resistor of $2 \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel with the cell,the balancing length is obtained at $100 \ cm$. What is the internal resistance of the cell in $\Omega$?

In an experiment to find the $emf$ of a cell using a potentiometer,the length of the null point for a cell of $emf$ $1.5 \ V$ is found to be $60 \ cm$. If this cell is replaced by another cell of $emf$ $E$,the length of the null point increases by $40 \ cm$. The value of $E$ is $\frac{x}{10} \ V$. The value of $x$ is $............$
