AB is a potentiometer wire of length 100 cm and its resistance is 10 ohms. It is connected in series with a resistance R = 40 ohms and a battery of e.m.f. 2 V and negligible internal resistance. If a source of unknown e.m.f. E is balanced by 40 cm length of the potentiometer wire, the value of E is

a
0.8 V
b
1.6 V
c
0.08 V
d
0.16 V

detailed solution

Correct option is D

E =  eR+Rh+r RL×  l =  210+40+0 ×  101× 0.4=0.16 V
