The length of a wire of a potentiometer ...

The length of a wire of a potentiometer is 100 cm, and the e.m.f. of its standard cell is E volt. It is employed to measure the e.m.f. of a battery whose internal resistance is `0.5 Omega.` If the balance point is obtained at I = 30 cm from the positive end, the e.m.f. of the battery is . Where I is the current in the in the potentiometer wire.

A

`(30E)/(100.5)`

B

`(30E)/(99.5)`

C

`(30E)/(100)`

D

`(30(E-0.51))/(100)`

Name the device used for measuring the e.m.f. of a cell.

Why do we prefer a potentiometer to measure e.m.f. of a cell rather than a voltmeter?

A cell gives a balance with 85 cm of a potentiometer wire. When the terminals of the cell are shorted through a resistance of 7.5Omega , the balance is obtained at 75 cm. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

Define e.m.f of a cell. How can you compare the e.m.f of the cells using potentiometer.

A primary cell has an e.m.f. 1.5 volt. When short circuited, it gives a current of 3 ampere. The internal resistance of the cell is

The instrument for the accurate measurement of the e.m.f. of a cell is:

A cell of e.m.f. 4 V and of negligible internal resistance is connected in series with a potentiometer wire of length 400 cm. The e.m.f. of a Leelanche cell is found to be balacned at 150 cm from the positive end of the potentiometer wire. What is the e.m.f. of the Leclanche cell ?
