    In a potentiometer of one metre length, an unknown emf voltage source is balanced at 60 cm length of potentiometer wire, while a 3 V battery is balanced at 45 cm length. Then the emf of the unknown voltage source is

    A)  3 V           

    B)  2.25 V

    C)  4 V           

    D)  4.5 V  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Let\[{{l}_{1}}\]and\[{{l}_{2}}\]be the balancing lengths with the cells\[{{E}_{1}}\]and\[{{E}_{2}}\]respectively, than\[{{E}_{1}}=x{{l}_{1}}\]and \[{{E}_{2}}=x{{l}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{{{E}_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\] Or \[\frac{{{E}_{1}}}{3}=\frac{60}{45}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[E=4V\]
