A potentiometer wire PQ of length 1 m is connected to a standard cell E1. Another cell E2 of emf 1.02V is connected with a resistance ‘r’ and switch S (as shown in figure). With switch S open, the null position is obtained at a distance of 49cm from Q. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is:

A potentiometer wire PQ of length 1 m is connected to a standard cell E1. Another cell E2 of emf 1.02V is connected with a resistance 'r' and switch S (as shown in figure). With switch S open, the null position is obtained at a distance of 49cm from Q. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is:

  1. A

    0.02V/cm

  2. B

    0.04V/cm

  3. C

    0.01V/cm

  4. D

    0.03V/cm

    Solution:

    Balancing length is measured from P.
    So 10049=51cm
    E2=ϕ×51
    Where ϕ= Potential gradient
    1.02=ϕ×51ϕ=0.02V/cm
