The circuit shown here is used to compare the $e.m.f.$ of two cells ${E_1}$ and ${E_2}$ $(E_1 > E_2)$. The null point is at $C$ when the galvanometer is connected to ${E_1}$. When the galvanometer is connected to ${E_2}$,the null point will be

  • A
    To the left of $C$
  • B
    To the right of $C$
  • C
    At $C$ itself
  • D
    Nowhere on $AB$

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{5}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $100 \, cm$ has a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R$ and a cell of $emf$ $2 \, V$ and of negligible internal resistance. $A$ source of $emf$ $10 \, mV$ is balanced against a length of $40 \, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance $R$?

In a potentiometer experiment,it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$,a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40 \ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$.

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length for a cell is $240 \ cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes half the initial balancing length. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)
