In a potentiometer experiment the balancing length with a cell is \(560 \mathrm{~cm}\). When an external resistance of \(10 \Omega\) is connected in parallel to the cell, then the balancing length changes by \(60 \mathrm{~cm}\). Find the internal resistance of the cell.

  1. A \(1 \Omega\)
  2. B \(2 \Omega\)
  3. C \(1.2 \Omega\)
  4. D \(2.1 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1.2 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(l_1=560 \mathrm{~cm}, R=10 \Omega\), \(\Rightarrow \quad \begin{aligned} & l_2=l_1-60 \\ & l_2=560-60=500 \mathrm{~cm} \end{aligned}\) \(\therefore\) Internal resistance of cell is given by…
