Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 744

Question: A potentiometer arrangement is shown in fig. The driver cell has emf e and internal resistance r. The resistance of potentiometer wire AB is R. F is the cell of em e/3 and internal resistance r/3. Balance point (J) can be obtained for all finite values of

Options:

A) R>r/2

B) R<r/2

C) R>r/3

D) R<r/3

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] Current in $ AB=I=\frac{e}{R+r} $ potential difference across $

$ To obtain balanced point, $ \frac{eR}{R+r}>\frac{e}{3}\text{ or }R>r/2 $
