To measure the internal resistance of a battery, potentiometer is used. For \(\mathrm{R}=10 \Omega\), the balance point is observed at \(\ell=500 \mathrm{~cm}\) and for \(\mathrm{R}=1 \Omega\) the balance point is observed at \(\ell=400 \mathrm{~cm}\). The internal resistance of the battery is approximately _______.

  1. A \(0.2 \Omega\)
  2. B \(0.4 \Omega\)
  3. C \(0.1 \Omega\)
  4. D  \(0.3 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D)  \(0.3 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let potential gradient be \(\lambda\). \(\therefore \mathrm{i} \times 10=\lambda \times 500=\varepsilon-\mathrm{ir}_{\mathrm{s}}\) \(\Rightarrow 500 \lambda=\varepsilon-50 \lambda \mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{s}}\) Also,…
