A cell balances against a length of 150 cm on a potentiometer wire when it is shunted by a resistance of \(5 \Omega\). But when it is shunted by a resistance of \(10 \Omega\), then balancing length increases by 25 cm . The balancing length when the cell is in an open circuit is
- A 200 cm
- B 225 cm
- C 210 cm
- D 250 cm
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) 210 cm
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\begin{array}{ll} & \mathrm{r}=\mathrm{s}\left(\frac{l-l_{\mathrm{b}}}{l_{\mathrm{b}}}\right) \\ \therefore \quad & 5\left(\frac{l-150}{150}\right)=10\left(\frac{l-175}{175}\right) \\ \therefore & \frac{l-150}{6}=2\left(\frac{l-175}{7}\right) \\ \therefore & 7 l-1050=12 l-2100 \\ \therefore & 5 l=1050 \\ \therefore \quad & l=210 \mathrm{~cm}\end{array}\)
