Question

A potentiometer wire is 100 cm long and a constant p.d. is maintained across it. Two cells A and B are connected in series first and then in opposition. The balance points were obtained at 50 cm and 30 cm. Find the ratio of the e.m.f.s of the cells.

Solution

The correct option is C 4:1
$\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}} = \frac{l_{1} + l_{2}}{l_{1} - l_{2}} = \frac{50 + 30}{50 - 30} = \frac{80}{20} = \frac{4}{1} E_{1} : E_{2} = 4 : 1$
