In the determination of the internal resistance of a cell with a potentiometer, the error in the measurement of the balancing length is \(\pm 1 \mathrm{~mm}\). When the cell alone is connected in the circuit, the balancing length is obtained at \(60 \mathrm{~cm}\) and when the cell is shunted with a resistance of \(10 \Omega \pm 2 \%\), the balancing length is obtained at \(50 \mathrm{~cm}\). The error in the determination of the internal resistance of the cell is

  1. A \(2.4 \%\)
  2. B \(4.2 \%\)
  3. C \(1.8 \%\)
  4. D \(5.6 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.2 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\quad r=R\left(\frac{l_1}{l_2}-1\right)\) This is value of internal resistance here.…
