A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient, across the potentiometer wire, is k volt/cm and the ammeter, present in the circuit, reads 1.0 A when two way key is switched off. The balance point, when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3, is plugged in, are found to be at lengths cm and cm respectively. The magnitudes, of the resistors R and X, in ohms, are then, equal, respectively, to
Comparison of resistances -
- wherein
The balancing length for R (when 1,2 are connected) is and balancing length for R+x (when 1, 3 is connected) is
=> x=
