In potentiometer experiments,two cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ are connected in series $(E_1 > E_2)$,the balancing length is $64 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $32 \ cm$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

  • A
    $3: 1$
  • B
    $2: 3$
  • C
    $1: 3$
  • D

The null point of a potentiometer with a cell of emf $\varepsilon$ is obtained at a distance $l$ on the wire,then

$A$ potentiometer has a potential gradient of $2 \, mV/cm$. It is used to measure the potential difference across a $10 \, \Omega$ resistor. If the length of the potentiometer wire required to obtain the null point is $50 \, cm$,the current flowing through the $10 \, \Omega$ resistor is ............. $mA$.

Two cells,when connected in series,are balanced on $8 \; m$ on a potentiometer. If the cells are connected such that the polarity of one of the cells is reversed,they balance on $2 \; m$. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells is:

In a potentiometer experiment for the determination of the internal resistance of a cell,when an external resistance of $R$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length decreases by $10 \%$. The internal resistance of the cell is
