In a potentiometer experiment the balancing with a cell is at length 240 cm. On shunting the cell with a resistance of `2Omega`, the balancing length becomes 120 cm.The internal resistance of the cell is

A

`2 Omega`

B

`4 Omega`

C

`0.5`

D

`1 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`r = (l_(1) - l_(2))/(l_(2)) R = (240 - 120)/(120) xx 2 Omega = 2 Omega`
