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$\frac{{30(E - 0.5i)}}{{100}}$,

a (a) From the principle of potentiometer $V \propto l$
$ \Rightarrow $ $\frac{V}{E} = \frac{l}{L}$; where $V$ = $emf$ of battery, $ E$ = $emf$ of standard cell, $L$ = Length of potentiometer wire
$V = \frac{{El}}{L} = \frac{{30E}}{{100}}$.

The potential difference across $8\, ohm$ resistance is $48\, volt$ as shown in the figure. The value of potential difference across $X$ and $Y$ points will be ............. $volt$
A potentiometer wire of length $300\,cm$ is connected in series with a resistance $780\,\Omega$ and a standard cell of emf $4\,V$. A constant current flows through potentiometer wire. The length of the null point for cell of emf $20\,mV$ is found to be $60\,cm$. The resistance of the potentiometer wire is$...\Omega$
Resistance of one carbon filament and one tungsten lamp are measured individually when the lamp are lit and compared with their respective resistances when cold. Which one of the following statements will be true
A current of $1.6\, A$ is flowing through a wire having cross-sectional area $1\, mm^2$. If density of free electrons in the material of the wire is $10^{29}\, per\, m^3$, the drift velocity of electrons will be
During lighting, a current pulse, shown in figure, flows from the cloud at a height $1.5\ km$ to the ground. If the breakdown electric field of humid air is about $400\ kVm^{-1}$ , the energy released during lighting would be (in unit of $10^9\ J$ )
