In a potentiometer, a wire of length 10 m having resistance 50 Ω is used. A battery of 5 V and a resistor of 450 Ω are connected in series to the wire. If an unknown battery of emf 'E' balances the potentiometer at 450 cm, then the value of E is

  1. A 0.225 V
  2. B 1.25 V
  3. C 2.25 V
  4. D 0.0225 V
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.225 V

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In the case of potentiometer null point is obtained when the current flowing from the battery E1 should be equal to current drawn from the battery E2, ⇒i1=i2⇒E1Rwire+R=E2RBalance here, E1=5 V,…
