A null point is found at \(200\,cm\) in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by \(5\,\Omega\). When a resistance of \(15\,\Omega\) is used for shunting null point moves to \(300\,cm\). The internal resistance of the cell is \(..............\,\Omega\).

  1. A \(4\)
  2. B \(5\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\varepsilon}{ r +5} \times 5=200\,x\) \(\frac{\varepsilon \times 15}{ r +15}=300\,x\) \(\Rightarrow r =5\)
