As shown in the figure,a potentiometer wire of resistance $20\,\Omega$ and length $300\,cm$ is connected with a resistance box ($R$.$B$.) and a standard cell of emf $4\,V$. For a resistance '$R$' of the resistance box introduced into the circuit,the null point for a cell of $20\,mV$ is found to be $60\,cm$. The value of '$R$' is $.....\Omega$

  • A
    $780$
  • B
    $78$
  • C
    $870$
  • D

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $\Omega$)?

$A$ cell of internal resistance $3 \, \Omega$ and $emf$ $10 \, V$ is connected to a uniform wire of length $500 \, cm$ and resistance $3 \, \Omega$. The potential gradient in the wire is .............. $mV/cm$.

An ideal battery of $4\, V$ and resistance $R$ are connected in series in the primary circuit of a potentiometer of length $1\, m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega$. The value of $R$,to give a potential difference of $5\, mV$ across $10\, cm$ of potentiometer wire,is: ................ $\Omega$

With the help of a potentiometer,we can determine the value of the emf of a given cell. The sensitivity of the potentiometer is:
$(A)$ directly proportional to the length of the potentiometer wire
$(B)$ directly proportional to the potential gradient of the wire
$(C)$ inversely proportional to the potential gradient of the wire
$(D)$ inversely proportional to the length of the potentiometer wire
Choose the correct option for the above statements:

$A$ potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$ and the balance point is obtained at $203.6 \, cm$. When the end of the potentiometer connected to $B$ is shifted to $C$,then the balance point is obtained at $24.6 \, cm$. If now the potentiometer be connected between $B$ and $C$,the balance point will be at ................. $cm$.
