In a potentiometer experiment,it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$,a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40 \ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$.

View SolutionIn a potentiometer experiment,cells of e.m.f. $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ are connected in series $(E_{1} > E_{2})$,and the balancing length is $64 \ cm$. If the polarity of $E_{2}$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $32 \ cm$. The ratio $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is:
The figure shows a simple potentiometer circuit for measuring a small $e.m.f.$ produced by a thermocouple. The potentiometer wire $PQ$ has a resistance of $5 \,\Omega$ and the driver cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $2 \, V$. If a balance point is obtained at $0.600 \, m$ along $PQ$ when measuring an $e.m.f.$ of $6.00 \, mV$,what is the value of resistance $R$ in $\Omega$?
