In a potentiometer experiment, the balancing length with a cell is $560 \, cm$. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

  • A
    $1 \, \Omega$
  • B
    $2 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $1.2 \, \Omega$
  • D

For the measurement of potential difference,a potentiometer is preferred in comparison to a voltmeter because:

In a potentiometer experiment,the galvanometer shows no deflection when a cell is connected across $60 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $6 \ \Omega$,the balance is obtained across $50 \ cm$ of the wire. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.

$A$ $2\,V$ battery,a $15\,\Omega$ resistor,and a potentiometer of $100\,cm$ length are all connected in series. If the resistance of the potentiometer wire is $5\,\Omega$,then the potential gradient of the potentiometer wire is ............... $V/cm$.

$A$ cell of internal resistance $1.5\,\Omega$ and of $e.m.f.$ $1.5\,V$ balances at $500\,cm$ on a potentiometer wire. If a wire of $15\,\Omega$ is connected between the balance point and the cell,then the balance point will shift:

In a potentiometer, when the cell in the secondary circuit is shunted with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance, the balance is obtained at a length of $120 \ cm$ of the wire. Now, when the same cell is shunted with a $12 \ \Omega$ resistance, the balance point shifts to a length of $180 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is . . . . . . $\Omega$.
