Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of 60 cm to 40 cm by shunting the cell with a 4 Ω resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell?

  1. A 1 Ω
  2. B 2 Ω
  3. C 4 Ω
  4. D 6 Ω
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 2 Ω

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In first case EMF of the cell s balanced against potentiometer setup. Assuming potential gradient to be α, we can write ε=α×0.6   ...Eq1 For the second case, potential drop across the cell is measured, therefore, we can write,…
