Q.

A 6-volt battery of negligible internal resistance is connected across a uniform wire AB of length 100 cm. The positive terminal of another battery of emf 4 V and internal resistance 1Ω  is joined to the point A as shown in figure . Take the potential at B to be zero.  If  potential at (A) is V1  and at (C) is  V2   then V1+V2  =______

Detailed Solution

a) Potential difference between A and B is 6 V. 
B is at 0 potential.
Thus potential of A point is 6V.                                         
Potential difference between Ac is 4 V.
 VAVC=4VC=VA4=64=2V.

b) The Potential at  D=2V,  VAD=4V;VBD=0V
Current through the resistors R1andR2  are equal.
Thus ,  4R1=2R2
 R1R2=2
I1I2=2  (Acc. to the law of potentiometer)
 I1+I2=100cmI1+I12=100cm3I12=100cmI1=2003cm=66.67cm.AD=66.67cm
c) When the points C and D are connected by a wire current flowing through it is 0 since  the points are equipotential.
d) Potential at A=6 v
Potential at C = 6-7.5= 1.5 C
The potential at B = 0 and towards A potential increases.
Thus –ve potential point does not come within the wire.
