In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell of emf \(1.20\, V\) gives a balance point at \(36\, cm\) length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf \(1.80\, V\). The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be \(....cm\).

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(18\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1.2=(\) Potential Gradient \() \times 36\)

\(1.8=(\) Potential Gradient \() \times x\)

On dividing, we get

\(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{36}{x}\)

\(x=18 \times 3=54\,cm\)

Hence difference \(=54-36=18\,cm\)
