In a potentiometre, the balanced point is obtained when :

  1. A the emf of the battery becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell
  2. B the potential difference of the wire between the + ve end and the jockey becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell
  3. C the potential difference of the wire between the + ve end and the jockey becomes equal to the emf of the battery
  4. D the potential difference across the potentiometer wire becomes equal to the emf of the battery
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) the emf of the battery becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At the balance point, the potential drop across the specific segment of the potentiometer wire exactly matches the emf of the cell being measured. Because these two potentials are equal and opposing, no current flows through the galvanometer, resulting in a zero (null)…
