In 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:

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $2: 1$
  • C
    $1: 3$
  • D
    $3: 1$

$A$ thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V/^{\circ}C$ in the linear range of temperature. $A$ galvanometer of resistance $10\,\Omega$ whose sensitivity is $1\,\mu A/\text{div}$ is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be (in $^{\circ}C$)

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length is $8 \ m$ when two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ are joined in series. When two cells are connected in opposition,the balancing length is $4 \ m$. The ratio of the e.m.f. of the two cells $\left(\frac{E_1}{E_2}\right)$ is

In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by a potentiometer,it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega$ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is,then ................ $\Omega$.
