$A$ cell balances against a length of $150 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when it is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$. But when it is shunted by a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$,then the balancing length increases by $25 \ cm$. The balancing length when the cell is in an open circuit is: (in $cm$)

  • A
    $200$
  • B
    $225$
  • C
    $210$
  • D

The potential difference across the ends of a potentiometer wire is constant. Two cells are connected in such a way that they first assist each other and then oppose each other. They are balanced on the potentiometer wire at lengths of $120 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. The ratio of the electromotive forces $(EMF)$ of the cells is:

For the arrangement of the potentiometer shown in the figure,the balance point is obtained at a distance $75\,cm$ from $A$ when the key $k$ is open. The second balance point is obtained at $60\,cm$ from $A$ when the key $k$ is closed. Find the internal resistance (in $\Omega$) of the battery $E_1$.
