A potentiometer wire is `100 cm` long hand a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite direction. The balance points are obatined at `50 cm` and `10 cm` from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of emfs is:

A

`3:2`

B

`5:1`

C

`5:4`

D

`3:4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(E_(1)+E_(2))/(E_(1)-E_(2))=50/10=5`
`E_(1)+E_(2)=5E_(1)-5E_(2)`
`(E_(1))/(E_(2))=3/2`
