In an experiment with a potentiometer to measure the internal resistance of a cell. when the cell in the secondary circuit is by shounted by `5 Omega`, the null point is at `220 cm`. When the cell is shunted by `20 Omega ` the null point is at `300 cm`. Find the internal resistance of the cell. |

Answer» Correct Answer - `2.76 Omega` Let `epsilon` and `r` be the emf and internal resistance of the cell used in secondary circuit and `K` be the potential gradent along the potentiometer wire. According to equation `((epsilon)/(r + 5)) 5 = K xx 220 `….(i) and `(epsilon)/(r + 20)) 20 = K xx 300 `….(ii) On solving (i) and (ii) we get `r = 2.76 Omega` |
