Q77 / 90 · JEE Main 2021 (25 Jul Shift 1) · Physics

In the given figure, there is a circuit of potentiometer of length AB=10 m. The resistance per unit length is 0.1 Ω per cm. Across AB, a battery of emf E and internal resistance r is connected. The maximum value of emf measured by this potentiometer is:

Figure

  • Correct answer
    A
    5 V
  • B
    2.25 V
  • C
    6 V
  • D
    2.75 V

Solution

Maximum voltage that can be measured by this potentiometer will be equal to potential drop across AB, 

RAB=10×0.1×100=100 ohm

∴ VAB=620+100×100=6×100120=5 V

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