In the experiment to determine the internal resistance $(r)$ of a cell $(E_1)$ using a potentiometer,the resistance drawn from the resistance box is $R$. The potential difference across the balancing length of the wire is equal to the terminal potential difference $(V)$ of the cell. The value of the internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell is:

  • A
    $R\left(\frac{E_1}{V}+1\right)$
  • B
    $R\left(\frac{V}{E_1}-1\right)$
  • C
    $R\left(\frac{V}{E_1}+1\right)$
  • D
    $R\left(\frac{E_1}{V}-1\right)$

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{4}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the original wire is increased by $\frac{L}{3}$,then using the same cell,the null point is obtained at:

When a cell of $E$.$M$.$F$. '$E_1$' is connected to a potentiometer wire, the balancing length is '$l_1$'. Another cell of $E$.$M$.$F$. '$E_2$' $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected along with $E_1$ such that the two cells oppose each other, and the balancing length is '$l_2$'. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is

When a potentiometer is connected between the points $A$ and $B$ as shown in the circuit,the balance point is obtained at $64 \ cm$. When it is connected between $A$ and $C$,the balance point is $8 \ cm$. If the potentiometer is connected between $B$ and $C$,the balance point will be: (in $cm$)
