In a potentiometer circuit a cell of EMF 1.5V1 . 5V gives balance point at 36cm36cm length of wire. If another cell of EMF 2.5V2 . 5V replaces the first cell, then at what length of the wire, the balance point occurs?

Options

  1. A64cm64cm
  2. B21.6cm21 . 6cm
  3. C60cm60cm
  4. D62cm62cm

Correct answer

C. 60cm60cm

Step-by-step solution

Given,

E1=1.5V{E}_{1} = 1 . 5V

l1=36cm{l}_{1} = 36cm

E2=2.5v{E}_{2} = 2 . 5v

l2=?{l}_{2} = ?

AS we know,

E1E2=l1l2\dfrac{{E}_{1}}{{E}_{2}} = \dfrac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}}

1⋅52⋅5=36l2\dfrac{1 \cdot 5}{2 \cdot 5} = \dfrac{36}{{l}_{2}}

35=36l2\dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{36}{{l}_{2}}

l2=60cm{l}_{2} = 60cm
