Assertion : In case of potentiometer experiment, if emfs of known and unknown both batteries are increased two times, then null point length will remain unchanged. Reason : Null point length does not depend on emf of either of the two batteries.

Assertion : Potential difference across the terminals of a battery is always less than the emf of the battery. Reason : During discharging of a battery potential differnce across to terminals of a battery is V = E -ir therefore V lt E

In a potentiometer experiment, the null point is obtained at 140 cm for a cell of e.m.f. 1.2 V. With another cell of unknown e.m.f., the null point is obtained at 210 cm. The unknown e.m.f. is

Can the potential difference across a battery be greater than its emf?

Assertion : The e.m.f. of the drivercell in the potentiometer experiment should be greater than the e.m.f. of the cell to determined.

A wire AB (of length 1m, area of cross section pi m^(2) ) is used in potentiometer experiment to calculate emf and internal resistance (r) of battery. The emf and internal resistance of driving battery are 15 V and 3 Omega respectively.The resistivity of wire AB varies as rho = rho_(0)x (where x is distance form A in meters and rho_(0) = 24 pi Omega ) The distance of null point from A obtained at sqrt((2)/(3)) m when switch 'S' is open and at (1)/(sqrt(2m)) m when switch is closed. The emf (E) of battery is -

Statement-1 : In a Meter Bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now, the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance. Statement-2 : Resistance of metal increases with increase in temperature.
