In a meter bridge experiment null point is obtained at $40\, cm$ from one end of the wire when resistance $X$ is balanced against another resistance $Y$. If $X < Y$, then the new position of the null point from the same end, if one decides to balance a resistance of $3X$ against $Y$, will be close to .............. $cm$
A$80$
B$75$

C$67$
c From question, $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{40}{100-40}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{2}{3} y$
Again, $\frac{3 x}{y}=\frac{z}{100-z}$
or $\frac{3 \times \frac{2 y}{3}}{y}=\frac{z}{100-z}$
Solving we get $Z=67\, \mathrm{cm}$
Therefore new position of null point
$\cong 67\, \mathrm{cm}$

In the given figure, the charge stored in $6 \ \mu \mathrm{F}$ capacitor, when points $A$ and $B$ are joined by a connecting wire is___________ $\mu \mathrm{C}$.
In a potentiometer experiment, it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52\ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $ 5\,\Omega$, a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40\ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$
A circuit of resistacne $R$ is connected to $n$ similar cells. If the current in the circuit is the same when the cells are connected in series or in parallel. If the internal resistacne $r$ of each cell then
In a potentiometer wire experiment the $\mathrm{emf}$ of a battery in the primary circuit is $20\,V$ and its internal resistance is $5\,\Omega$ . There is a resistance box in series with the battery and the potentiometer wire, whose resistance can be varied from $120\,\Omega$ to $170\,\Omega$ . Resistance of the potentiometer wire is $75\,\Omega$ . The following potential differences can be measured using this potentiometer.
In a potentiometer experiment the balancing with a cell is at length $240\,cm$ . On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2\,\Omega $ , the balancing length becomes $120\, cm$ . The internal resistance of the cell is ................... $\Omega$
