  • question_answer
    In an experiment of potentiometer for measuring the internal resistance of primary cell a balancing length \[\ell \]is obtained on the potentiometer wire when the cell is open circuit. Now the cell is short circuited by a resistance R, If R is to be equal to the internal resistance of the cell the balancing length on the potentiometer wire will be                  [JEE ONLINE 26-05-2012]

    A) \[\ell \]

    B) \[2\ell \]

    C) \[\ell /2\]

    D) \[\ell /4\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Balancing length \[l\] will give emf of cell
    \[\therefore \]\[E=Kl\]
    Here K is potential gradient.
    If the cell is short circuited by resistance ‘R'
    Let balancing length obtained be V then\[V=kl'\]
    \[r=\left( \frac{E-V}{V} \right)R\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[V=E-V\]             \[[\because r=R\,\text{given}]\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[V=E-V\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[2V=E\]or\[2Kl'=Kl\]
    \[\therefore \]\[l'=\frac{l}{2}\]
