MCQ
A null point is found at $200\,cm$ in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by $5\,\Omega$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used for shunting null point moves to $300\,cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is $..............\,\Omega$.
  • A
    $4$
  • $5$
  • C
    $3$
  • D
    $2$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$5$
b
$\frac{\varepsilon}{ r +5} \times 5=200\,x$

$\frac{\varepsilon \times 15}{ r +15}=300\,x$

$\Rightarrow r =5$
