Two cells,when connected in series,are balanced on $8 \; m$ on a potentiometer. If the cells are connected such that the polarity of one of the cells is reversed,they balance on $2 \; m$. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells is:

  • A
    $3:5$
  • B
    $5:3$
  • C
    $3:4$
  • D
    $4:3$

The resistance of $10\, m$ long potentiometer wire is $1\,\Omega/m$. $A$ cell of $e.m.f.$ $2.2\, V$ and a high resistance box are connected in series to this wire. The value of resistance taken from the resistance box for getting a potential gradient of $2.2\, mV/m$ will be ............... $\Omega$.

$A$ $10 \, m$ long wire of $20 \, \Omega$ resistance is connected with a battery of $3 \, V$ $e.m.f.$ (negligible internal resistance) and a $10 \, \Omega$ resistance is joined to it in series. The potential gradient along the wire in $V/m$ is:

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

The potential difference across the ends of a potentiometer wire is constant. Two cells are connected in such a way that they first assist each other and then oppose each other. They are balanced on the potentiometer wire at lengths of $120 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. The ratio of the electromotive forces $(EMF)$ of the cells is:

In a potentiometer experiment,two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are used in series and in conjunction,and the balancing length is found to be $58 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $29 \ cm$. The ratio $\frac{E_1}{E_2}$ of the $e.m.f.$ of the two cells is: (in $:1$)
