In an experiment with potentiometer to measure the internal resistance of a cell, when the cell is shunted by 5Ω , the null point is obtained at2m . when cell is shunted by 20Ω  the null point is obtained at3m .The internal resistance of cell is

a
2 Ω
b
4 Ω
c
6 Ω
d
8 Ω

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Resistance R1=5 Ω Resistance R2=20  Ω Balancing length l1=2 m Balancing length l2=3 m Internal resistance r=? l1l2=R1R2[R2+rR1+r] 23=520(20+r5+r) ∴  r=4 Ω
