A potentiometer wire AB having length L and resistance 12 r is joined to a cell D of emf ε and internal resistance r . A cell C having EMF ε / 2 and internal resistance 3 r is connected. The length AJ , at which the galvanometer, as shown in the figure, shows no deflection is
Options
- A5 12 L
- B11 24 L
- C11 12 L
- D13 24 L
Correct answer
D. 13 24 L
Step-by-step solution
Potential difference across AJ = I   R A J , = ε 13 r · 12 r L · x For no current in galvanometer, ε 2 = potential difference across AJ ε 2 = 12 ε 13 L x x = 13L 24
