Vedclass · Answer

(B) The current $I$ flowing through the potentiometer wire $AB$ is given by $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R_{wire} + r} = \frac{\varepsilon}{9r + r} = \frac{\varepsilon}{10r}$.The potential difference across the wire $AB$ is $V_{AB} = I 	imes R_{wire} = \frac{\varepsilon}{10r} 	imes 9r = \frac{9\varepsilon}{10}$.The potential gradient $x$ along the wire $AB$ is $x = \frac{V_{AB}}{L} = \frac{9\varepsilon}{10L}$.For the galvanometer $G$ to show no deflection,the potential difference across the length $AJ$ must be equal to the $emf$ of cell $C$. Let the length $AJ = \ell$.Thus,$x 	imes \ell = \frac{\varepsilon}{2}$.Substituting the value of $x$,we get $\frac{9\varepsilon}{10L} 	imes \ell = \frac{\varepsilon}{2}$.Solving for $\ell$,we get $\ell = \frac{\varepsilon}{2} 	imes \frac{10L}{9\varepsilon} = \frac{5L}{9}$.

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

$A$ wire,$10 \ m$ long,has a resistance of $40 \ \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance box of resistance $R$ and a $2 \ V$ storage cell. If the potential gradient along the wire is $0.1 \ mV/cm$,then the value of $R$ is (in $\Omega$)

The $e.m.f.$ of a standard cell balances across $150 \ cm$ length of a potentiometer wire. When a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$ is connected as a shunt across the cell,the balance point is obtained at $100 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.
