Question

A potentiometer wire of length L and a resistance r are connected in series with a battery of e.m.f. $E_{0}$ and a resistance $r_{1}$ . An unknown e.m.f. E is balanced at a length l of the potentiometer wire. The e.m.f. E will be given by.

\frac{E_{0} r}{(r + r_{1})} \cdot \frac{l}{L}

Solution

The correct option is A $\frac{E_{0} r}{(r + r_{1})} \cdot \frac{l}{L}$
Current in ABCD
$I = \frac{V}{R_{e q}} = \frac{V}{r + r_{1}}$
potential difference across potentiometr $= I r = \frac{V r}{(r + r_{1})}$
Potential gradient $= \frac{V}{L} = \frac{V r}{(r + r_{1})} \times \frac{1}{L} = k$
we know that EMF=kl
l=balancing length
$E M F = (\frac{V r}{r + r_{1}}) \frac{l}{L} = (\frac{ϵ r}{r + r_{1}}) \frac{l}{L}$
