Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 35
Question: Assertion : The e.m.f. of the driver cell in the potentiometer experiment should be greater than the e.m.f. of the cell to be determined. Reason : The fall of potential across the potentiometer wire should not be less than the e.m.f. of the cell to be determined.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
If either the e.m.f. of the driver cell or potential difference across the whole potentiometer wire is lesser than the e.m.f. of the experimental cell, then balance point will not obtained.
