In the given potentiometer circuit arrangement, the balancing length AC is measured to be 250 cm . When the galvanometer connection is shifted from point (1) to point (2) in the given diagram, the balancing length becomes 400 cm . The ratio of the emf of two cells ε 1 ε 2 is:
Options
- A5 3
- B8 5
- C4 3
- D3 2
Correct answer
A. 5 3
Step-by-step solution
E 1 = k ℓ 1   … ( 1 ) E 1 + E 2 = k ℓ 2   … ( 2 ) E 1 E 1 + E 2 = ℓ 1 ℓ 2 = 250 400 = 5 8 8 E 1 = 5 E 1 + 5 E 2 3 E 1 = 5 E 2 E 1 E 2 = 5 3
