JEE Main 2022 · 24 Jun · Shift 1, Physics question 59

In a potentiometer arrangement, a cell gives a balancing point at 75 cm length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of unknown emf. If the ratio of the emf's of two cells respectively is 3 : 2, the difference in the balancing length of the potentiometer wire in above two cases will be ______ cm.

Answer and worked solution

Official answer: 25

Balancing length is proportional to emf. l1l2=32\dfrac{l_1}{l_2}=\dfrac32 with l1=75l_1=75 cm, so l2=50l_2=50 cm.

Difference. 75−50=2575-50=25 cm.

Answer: 25
