The length of potentiometer wire is \(4 \mathrm{~m}\) and is connected in series with an
accumulator. The e.m.f. (Unknown) of a cell balances against \(1 \cdot 5 \mathrm{~m}\) length of wire.
If the length of potentiometer wire is doubled, then the new balancing length of
wire will be

  1. A \(4.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(1.5 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(0.75 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(3 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If the length is doubled, potential gradient will be half. So to balance the same battery it will take double the length.
