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 ohms. How much resistance is to be connected in series with the potentiometer wire to have a potential gradient of 0.05 mVcm-1 ?

a
1990 ohms
b
2000 ohms
c
1995 ohms
d
1920 ohms

detailed solution

Correct option is C

potential gradient =iRPL=E RPLRs+RP=0.05 x10-310-2 V/m 2 x 51Rs+5= 5 x 10-3  Rs=1995
