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:

  • A
    $3:5$
  • B
    $5:3$
  • C
    $3:4$
  • D
    $4:3$

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of $emf$ $1.25\; V$ gives a balance point at $35.0\; cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $63.0\; cm ,$ what is the $emf$ of the second cell in $V$?

$A$ battery of $6\,V$ is connected to the terminals of a $3\,m$ long wire of uniform thickness and resistance of the order of $100\,\Omega$. The difference of potential between two points separated by $50\,cm$ on the wire will be .......... $V$.

The resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $40 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and its area of cross-section is $8 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$. If $0.2 \, A$ current is flowing through the wire,the potential gradient will be:

$A$ battery of $emf$ $E_0 = 12\, V$ is connected across a $4\,m$ long uniform wire having resistance $4\,\Omega /m$. The cells of small $emfs$ $\varepsilon_1 = 2\,V$ and $\varepsilon_2 = 4\,V$ having internal resistance $2\,\Omega$ and $6\,\Omega$ respectively,are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. If the galvanometer shows no deflection at point $N$,the distance of point $N$ from point $A$ is equal to:

$A$ potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$ and the balance point is obtained at $203.6 \, cm$. When the end of the potentiometer connected to $B$ is shifted to $C$,then the balance point is obtained at $24.6 \, cm$. If now the potentiometer be connected between $B$ and $C$,the balance point will be at ................. $cm$.
