In the following circuit, a $10 \, m$ long potentiometer wire with resistance $1.2 \, \Omega/m$, a resistance $R_1$, and an accumulator of $emf$ $2 \, V$ are connected in series. When the $emf$ of the thermocouple is $2.4 \, mV$, the deflection in the galvanometer is zero at a balancing length of $5 \, m$. The current supplied by the accumulator is:

  • A
    $4 \times 10^{-4} \, A$
  • B
    $8 \times 10^{-4} \, A$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-3} \, A$
  • D
    $8 \times 10^{-3} \, A$

In the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).

$A$ cell of $emf$ $2 \,V$ and internal resistance $5 \,\Omega$ is connected to a wire of length $100 \,cm$ and resistance $15 \,\Omega$. What is the potential gradient along the wire (in $,V/cm$)?

Two cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When a potentiometer is connected between points $A$ and $B$, the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $412 \text{ cm}$. When the same potentiometer is connected between points $A$ and $C$, the balancing length is $103 \text{ cm}$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is:

$A$ $10\,m$ long potentiometer wire has a potential gradient of $0.0025\,V/cm$. Calculate the distance of the null point when the wire is connected to a $1.025\,V$ standard cell.

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
