potentiometer

Question

In the given potentiometer circuit, the resistance of the potentiometer wire AB is R₀. C is a cell of internal resistance r. The galvanometer G does not give zero deflection for any position of the jockey J. Which of the following cannot be a reason for this?

Moderate

A

r > R₀
B

R >> R₀
C

Emf of C > Emf of D
D

The negative terminal of C is connected to A

Solution

If e.m.f of C is greater than the e.m.f. of D,
I_r = 0
so r does not play any role of zero deflection in galvanometer.
