To solve the problem, we will use the principles of a potentiometer and Ohm's law. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Setup When the switch is open, the balance point is at 60 cm. This means the potential difference across this length is equal to the EMF (E) of the unknown battery. When the switch is closed, the balance point changes to 40 cm. ### Step 2: Write the Equations for Each Case 1. **When the switch is open:** \[ ...
