MCQ
In potentiometer a balance point is obtained, when
  • A
    The $e.m.f.$ of the battery becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the experimental cell
  • The $p.d.$ of the wire between the $+ve$ end to jockey becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the experimental cell
  • C
    The $p.d.$ of the wire between $+ve$ point and jockey becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the battery
  • D
    The $p.d.$ across the potentiometer wire becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the battery

Answer

Correct option: B.
The $p.d.$ of the wire between the $+ve$ end to jockey becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the experimental cell
b
(b) In general, if the arrangement is not balanced, there will be a potential difference across the galvanometer, $G.$ This will only be zero means balance when the $p.d.$ of the wire between the $+ve$ end of battery to jockey becomes equal to the $e.m.f.$ of the experimental cell.
