The length of a wire of a potentiometer is $100\, cm$, and the $emf$ of its standard cell is $E\,volt$. It is employed to measure the $e.m.f$ of a battery whose internal resistance is $0.5 \,\Omega$. If the balance point is obtained at $l = 30\, cm$ from the positive end, the $e.m.f.$ of the battery is

where $i$ is the current in the potentiometer

  • A$\frac{{30E}}{{100}}$
  • B$\frac{{30E}}{{100.5}}$
  • C$\frac{{30E}}{{(100 - 0.5)}}$
  • D$\frac{{30(E - 0.5i)}}{{100}}$,

    The balancing length for a cell is $560 \;\mathrm{cm}$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \;\Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60\; \mathrm{cm} .$ If the internal resistance of the cell is $\frac{\mathrm{N}}{10} \;\Omega,$ where $\mathrm{N}$ is an integer then value of $\mathrm{N}$ is
