Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 302

Question: The e.m.f. of a standard cell balances across 150 cm length of a wire of potentiometer. When a resistance of $ 2,\Omega $ is connected as a shunt with the cell, the balance point is obtained at $ 100,cm $ . The internal resistance of the cell is

[MP PET 1993]

Options:

A) $ 0.1,\Omega $

B) $ 1,\Omega $

C) $ 2,\Omega $

D) $ 0.5,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Using $ r=R,( \frac{l _{1}}{l _{2}}-1 ) $

$ =2,( \frac{150}{100}-1 )=1\Omega $
