Give the formula to determine internal resistance of a cell using a potentiometer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`r=R((l_(1))/(l_(2))-1)` where `l_(1)`- balancing length with key connected to externaI resistance R in parallel to the cell is open.
`l_(2)`- balancing length with key connected to external resistance R is closed.
