(B) The total resistance of the primary circuit is $R_{total} = R + r_1 = 9 \, \Omega + 1 \, \Omega = 10 \, \Omega$.The current flowing through the potentiometer wire $AB$ is $i_0 = \frac{E_1}{R_{total}} = \frac{10 \, V}{10 \, \Omega} = 1 \, A$.The potential drop across the wire $AB$ is $V_{AB} = i_0 	imes R = 1 \, A 	imes 9 \, \Omega = 9 \, V$.The potential gradient along the wire is $k = \frac{V_{AB}}{l} = \frac{9 \, V}{100 \, cm} = 0.09 \, V/cm$.For the galvanometer to show no deflection,the potential drop across the length $AC$ (let it be $l_1$) must be equal to the emf $E_2$ of the secondary cell.$V_{AC} = k 	imes l_1 = E_2$$0.09 \, V/cm 	imes l_1 = 5 \, V$$l_1 = \frac{5}{0.09} = \frac{500}{9} \approx 55.55 \, cm$.

$A$ potentiometer wire is $4 \text{ m}$ long and a potential difference of $3 \text{ V}$ is maintained between its ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $100 \text{ cm}$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\text{ V}$)

In a potentiometer arrangement,$E_1$ is the cell establishing the current in the primary circuit,$E_2$ is the cell to be measured,$AB$ is the potentiometer wire,and $G$ is a galvanometer. Which of the following are the essential conditions for a balance point to be obtained?

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of emf $1.5 \ V$ gives a balance point at $150 \ cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $210 \ cm$,what is the emf of the second cell (in $V$)?
