- A voltmeter has a resistance 30 Ω. What will be its reading, when it is connected across a cell of emf Data: E = 2V, r = 10 Ω, R = 30 Ω The voltmeter reading, V = IR = ( E/R+r ) R = ( 2/30+10 ) 30 = ( 2/40 ) 30 = 1.5 V 1
- When two cells of emfs. E1 and E2 are connected in series so as to assist each other, their balancing length Data : l₁ = 2.7m (cells assisting), l₂ = 0.3 m (cells opposing) E₁ + E₂ = Kl₁ and E₁ – E₂ = Kl₂ ∴ fracE₁+E₂E₁-E₂=fracK l₁K l₂ ∴ fracE₁E₂=fra... 1
- The emf of a cell is balanced by a length of 120 cm of potentiometer wire. When the cell is shunted by a resistance Data :R = 10 Ω, l₁ = 120 cm, l₂ = 120 – 20 = 100 cm r = R( fracl₁-l₂l₂ ) = 10 ( 120-100/100 ) = 2 Ω The internal resistance of the cell is 2... 1
- A potential drop per unit length along a wire is 5 × 10-3 V/m. If the emf of a cell balances against Data: K = 5 × 10⁻³ V/m , L = 216 cm = 216 × 10⁻² m E = KL ∴ E = 5 × 10⁻³ × 216 × 10⁻² = 1080 × 10⁻⁵ = 0.01080V The emf of the cell is 0.0108... 1
