In the given circuit of potentiometer, the potential difference E across A B ( 10 m length) is larger than E 1 and E 2 as well. For key K 1 (closed), the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point J 1 so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now the first battery E 1 is replaced by second battery E 2 for working by making K 1 open and K 2 closed. The galvanometer gives then null deflection at J 2 . The
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
Length of A B = 10   m For battery E 1 , balancing length is l 1 l 1 = 380   cm [from end A ] For battery E 2 , balancing length is l 2 l 2 = 760   cm [from end A ] Now, we know that E 1 E 2 = l 1 l 2 ⇒     E 1 E 2 = 380 760 = 1 2 = a b a = 1
