In the circuit shown, a four-wire potentiometer is made of a 400 cm long wire, which extents between A and B . The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is r/L=0.01 Omega//cm. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey J at 50 cm from end A, the expected reading of the voltmeter will be :

The wire of potentiometer has resistance 4 Omega and length 1m. It is connected to a cell of e.m.f. 2V and internal resistance 1 Omega . The current flowing through the potentiometer wire is

Statement I: The wire of a potentioment should be of uniform area of cross section. Statement II: It satisfies the requirement of the principle of a potentiometer.

There is a potentiometer wire of length 1200 cm and 60 mA current is flowing in it. A battery of emf 5V and internal resistance of 20 ohm is balanced on potentiometer wire with balancing length 1000 cm. The resistance of potentiometer wire is

The emf of the driver cell of a potentiometer is 2 V , and its internal resistance is negligible. The length of the potentiometer wire is 100 cm , and resistance is 5 ohm . How much resistance is to be connected in series with the potentiometer wire to have a potential gradient of 0.05 m V cm^(-1) ?

is made of uniform material and cross-sectional area, and it has uniform resistance per unit length. The potential gradient depends upon the current in the wire. A potentiometer with a cell of emf 2 V and internal resistance 0.4 Omega is used across the wire AB . A standard cadmium cell of emf 1.02 V gives a balance point at 66 cm length of wire. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknows emf e (internal resistance r ), and the balance. Point found similarly turns out to be 88 cm length of the wire. The length of potentiometer wire AB is 1 m . The reading of the potentiometer, if a 4V battery is used instead of e is

AB is wire of potentiometer with the increase in the value of resistance R, the shift in the balance point J will be

The length of potentiometer wire is 1m and its resistance is 4Omega . Acurrent of 5mA is flowing in it. An unknown emf is balanced on 40 cm length of this wire. The unknown emf is x mv. What is the value of .x. ?

The length of the potentiometer wire is 600 cm and a current of 40 mA is flowing in it. When a cell of emf 2 V and internal resistance 10Omega is balanced on this potentiometer the balance length is found to be 500 cm. The resistance of potentiometer wire will be

In order to determine the internal resistance of a primary cell by means of potentiometer the emf of the battery connected across the ends of the potentiometer wire should be
