Current Electricity

 A standard cell is balanced at 150 cm. height of a potentiometer wire. If this cell is shunted by a resistance of 2 Ω, the balanced position is obtained at 100 cm. length. The internal resistance of the cell will be :

(1) 2 Ω

(2) 1 Ω

(3) 0.66 Ω

(4) 0.1Ω




SOLUTION

The internal resistance of cell is given by :-

(l1​: balance length without shunt

l2​: balance length with shunt
R: connoted shunt in series with cell)
=(1.5−1)×2=1Ω
