Questions  

The e.m.f. of the driver cell of a potentiometer is 2V and its internal resistance is negligible. The length of the potentiometer wire is 100 cm and resistance is 5 Ω. How much resistance is to be connected in series with the potentiometer wire to have a potential gradient of 0.05 mv cm-1 

a
1990 Ω
b
2000 Ω
c
1995 Ω
d
None of these

detailed solution

Correct option is C

ε=2V,l=100cm  Rp=5ΩV/L=0.05mV/cmVL=ERP+RSRPLSubstituting and solving RS−1995Ω
