Question

In the potentiometer circuit suppose $ε$ =12V, $ℓ$ =1m
if the galvanometer current is zero when x=075m, (a) find the
potential difference V, (b) if v=emf of the battery, find its
internal resistance.

Solution

Given $ε = 12 V$
$l = 1 m$
Potential Gradient $= k = \frac{ε}{l} = 12 \frac{V}{m}$
(a) In this situation $x = 0.75$ is null point
we know that
$ε = k l v = 12 \times 0.75 v = 12 \times \frac{3}{4} v = 9 V$
