In a potentiometer, a wire of length \(10 \mathrm{~m}\) having resistance \(50 \Omega\) is used. A battery of \(5 \mathrm{~V}\) and a resistor of \(450 \Omega\) are connected in series to the wire. If an unknown battery of emf \(E\) balances the potentiometer at \(450 \mathrm{~cm}\), 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

Given length of wire, \(l=10 \mathrm{~m}\), resistance of wire, \(R=50 \Omega\), emf of battery, \(E_1=5 \mathrm{~V}\), balancing length, \(x=450 \mathrm{~cm}=4.5 \mathrm{~m}\) series resistor, \(R_1=450 \Omega\) Current,…
