Potentiometer

The emf of a cell having internal resistance 1 Ω1\ \Omega is balanced against a length of 330 cm330\text{ cm} on a potentiometer wire. When an external resistance of 2 Ω2\ \Omega is connected across the cell, the balancing length will be:

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. l=l0RR+rl = l_0\dfrac{R}{R+r}
  2. l=330×22+1=220l = 330\times\dfrac{2}{2+1} = 220 cm
  3. So the answer is (a) 220 cm.
