Q123 / 180 · NEET 2015 (Phase 2) · Physics

A potentiometer wire of length L and a resistance r are connected in series with a battery of e.m.f. E0 and a resistance r1 . An unknown e.m.f. E is balanced at a length l of the potentiometer wire. The e.m.f. E will be given by:

  • Correct answer
    A
    E0rr+r1.lL
  • B
    E0lL
  • C
    LE0rr+r1l
  • D
    LE0rl r1

Solution

K= potential gradient =E0rr+r11L

So E=Kl=E0rlr+r1L

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
