In a potentiometer of wires, the balance point is obtained on the wire. To shift the balance point to wire, we should
- A Increase resistance in the main circuit
- B Decrease resistance in the main circuit
- C Increase resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be measured
- D Decrease resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be measured
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Increase resistance in the main circuit
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
By increasing resistance in the primary circuit the P.G of the wire decreases thereby it requires more length to measure the emf of secondary cell. ∴By increasing the resistance in series circuit we can move balancing point from sixth to eight wire.
