In a potentiometer experiment, the balancing length is found to be 1.8 m for a cell of e.m.f. 1.5 V. What is the balancing length for a cell of e.m.f. 1 V ?

A

1.2 m

B

0.5m

C

2.2m

D

0.2

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(E_(2))/(E_(1))=(l_(2))/(l_(1)) " " :.l_(2)=(1xx1.8)/(1.5)=1.2m`
