Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 301

Question: Resistance of 100 cm long potentiometer wire is 10W, it is connected to a battery (2 volt) and a resistance R in series. A source of 10 mV gives null point at 40 cm length, then external resistance R is

[MP PMT 2003]

Options:

A) 490 W

B) 790 W

C) 590 W

D) 990 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ E=\frac{e}{(R+R _{h}+r)}.\frac{R}{L}\times l $
$ \Rightarrow 10\times {{10}^{-3}}=\frac{2}{(10+R+0)}\times \frac{10}{1}\times 0.4 $

Therefore R = 790W
