  • Two cells of emf’s approximately 5V and 10V are to be accurately compared using a potentiometer of length 400cm. A. The battery that runs the potentiometer should have voltage of 8V.

Two cells of emf’s approximately 5V and 10V are to be accurately compared using a potentiometer of length 400cm.
A. The battery that runs the potentiometer should have a voltage of 8V.
B. The battery of potentiometer can have a voltage of 15V and R adjusted so that the potential drop across the wire slightly exceeds      10V.
C. The first portion of 50 cm of the wire itself should have a potential drop of 10V.
D. Potentiometer is usually used for comparing resistances and not voltages.

Answers (1)

The correct answer is the option (b)

Explanation: The potential drop along the wires of the potentiometer should be greater than the emfs of cells. The battery of potentiometer must be in excess of 10V.
