Fig. shows a 2.0 V potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of a 1.5 V cell. The balance point of the cell in open circuit is 76.3 cm. When a resistor of 9.5Omegais used in the external circuit of the cell, the balance point shifts to 64.8 cm length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance of the cell.

Answer»

Solution :Here balancing length of potentiometer wire in opencircuit of given cell `l_1`= 76.3 cm.
The balancing length in closed circuit `l_2`= 64.8 cm and external RESISTANCE JOINED with cell R = 9.5 `OMEGA`
` THEREFORE ` Internal resistance of the given cell `r = (l_1 - l_2)/(l_2) R = (76.3 - 64.8)/(64.8) xx 9.5 = 1.7 Omega`
