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

`4 Omega`

B

`2 Omega`

C

`1 Omega`

D

`0.5 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

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