In an experiment with a potentiometer, the null point is
obtained at a distance of `60 cm` along the wire from the
common terminal with a leclanche cell. When a shunt
resistance of `1 Omega` is connected across the cell, the null
point shifts to a distance of `30 cm` from the common
terminal. what is the internal resistance of the cell?

To find the internal resistance of the cell in the given potentiometer experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a potentiometer setup where the null point is initially at a distance of 60 cm from the common terminal with a Leclanché cell. When a shunt resistance of 1 ohm is connected across the cell, the null point shifts to 30 cm. ### Step 2: Identify the Variables - Let \( L_1 = 60 \, \text{cm} \) (the initial null point distance) - Let \( L_2 = 30 \, \text{cm} \) (the null point distance after connecting the shunt) ...
