The potentiometer basically consists of a uniform wire of resistance R through which a steady current flows when a driver cell source is connected between the points A and B (ends of potentiometer wire) and tapping is adjusted till no current passes through galvanometer. Using this null deflection method, unknown e.m.f. of a cell is determined. Using this concept answer the following questions.
The current in potentiometer wire is adjusted to give a null point at 56 cm with a standard cell of e.m.f. 1.02 volt. The e.m.f. of another cell for which null point is obtained at 70 cm is
  1. 0.78 volt
  2. 1.275 volt
  3. 1.35 volt
  4. 1.54 volt

Answer

(B) 1.275 volt
