A potentiometer PQ is set up to comapre two resistances as shown in the figure. The ammeter A in the circuit reads 1.0 A when two way key \[{{K}_{3}}\] is open. The balance point is at a length \[{{l}_{1}}\]cm from P when two way key \[{{K}_{3}}\] is plugged in between 2 and 1, while the balance point is at a length \[{{l}_{2}}\] cm from P when key \[{{K}_{3}}\] is plugged in between 3 and 1. The ratio of the two resistance \[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}},\] is found to be - [JEE Online 08-04-2017] |
A) \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}-{{l}_{2}}}\]
B) \[\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{2}}-{{l}_{1}}}\]
C) \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{1}}+{{l}_{2}}}\]
D) \[\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}-{{l}_{1}}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
[a] When key is at point |
\[{{V}_{1}}=i{{R}_{1}}=x{{l}_{1}}\] |
when key is at (3) |
\[{{V}_{2}}=i({{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}})=x{{l}_{2}}\] |
\[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{1}}+{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\] |
\[\frac{{{R}_{1}}}{{{R}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}-{{l}_{1}}}\] |
