A potentiometer wire is \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) long and potential difference of \(3 \mathrm{~V}\) is maintained between the ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of \(100 \mathrm{~cm}\) of the potentiometer wire is

  1. A \(0.50\mathrm{V}\)
  2. B \(0.60 \mathrm{~V}\)
  3. C \(3.0 .75 \mathrm{~V}\)
  4. D \(4.0 .25 \mathrm{~V}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3.0 .75 \mathrm{~V}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Potential gradient \(=\frac{3}{4} \frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{m}}\)
So, emf against \(100 \mathrm{~cm}=\frac{3}{4} \times 1 \mathrm{~V}=0.75 \mathrm{~V}\)
