Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 250

Question: In a potentiometer experiment, the galvanometer shows no deflection when a cell is connected across 60 cm of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $ 6,\Omega $ , the balance is obtained across 50 cm of the wire. The internal resistance of the cell is

[SCRA 1994]

Options:

A) $ 0.5,\Omega $

B) $ 0.6,\Omega $

C) $ 1.2,\Omega $

D) $ 1.5,\Omega $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ r=\frac{(l _{1}-l _{2})}{l _{2}}\times R’=( \frac{60-50}{50} )\times 6=1.2,\Omega $
