Describe the use of a potentiometer to compare the emf's of two cells by the sum difference method.

Explain the use of potentiometer for comparison of e.m.f. of two cells.

Knowledge Check

  • The e.m.f. of two cells can be compared by

    A
    potentiometer
    B
    ammeter
    C
    luxmeter
    D
    speedometer

  • The length of a potentiometer wire required to balance the e.m.f of cell (A) is 60cm. The length of the same wire under the same conditions required to balance the e.m.f of cell (B) is 45cm. If the e.m.f of cell (B) is 3.0 volts , the e.m.f of cell (A) is –

    A
    2.25 V
    B
    2.5 V
    C
    4.0 V
    D
    4.5 V

  • For a potentiometer to function, the emf of the cell ( E ) in the primary circuit compared to the emf of the cell ( E^(1) ) in the secondary circuit should have a realtion

    A
    `EgtE^(1)`
    B
    `E=E^(1)`
    C
    `E lt E^(1)`
    D
    `EleE^(1)`
