A battery of emf 1.4 V and internal resistance 2 Ω is connected to a resistor of 100 Ω through an ammeter. The resistance of the ammeter is 43 Ω A voltmeter has also been connected to find the potential difference across the resistor.

(i) Draw the circuit diagram.

(ii) The ammeter reads 0.02 A. What is the resistance of the voltmeter ?

(iii) The voltmeter reads 1.10 V, what is the zero error in the voltmeter ?

(Hint : zero error =observed reading – actual reading)

In the figure the potentiometer wire AB of length L & resistance 9r is joined to the cell D of e.m.f. ε & internal resistance r. The cell C's e.m.f. is ε2 and its internal resistance is 2r. The galvanometer G will show no deflection then find length AJ

Figure shows a 2.0 V potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of 1.5 V cell. The balance point of the cell without 9.5 Ω in the external circuit is 70 cm. When a resistor of 9.5 Ω is used in the external circuit of the cell, the balance point shifts to 60 cm length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance of the secondary cell.

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of emf 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.04 Ω maintaining a potential drop across the potentiometer wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents up to a few ampere) gives a balance point of 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of 600  is put in series with it which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf E and the balance point found similarly turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire.

(a) What is the value of E ?                                                                                                                            

(b) What purpose does the high resistance of 600  have ?

(c) Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?

(d) Is the balance point affected by the internal resistance of the driver cell?

(e) Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an emf of 1.0 V instead of 2.0 V?

(f) Would the circuit work well for determining extremely small emf, say, of the order of few mV (such typical emf of thermocouple)?

Figure shows a metre bridge (which is nothing but a practical Wheatstone Bridge) consisting of two resistors X and Y together in parallel with a metre long constantan wire of uniform cross-section. With the help of a movable contact D, one can change the ratio of the resistances of the two segments of the wire until a sensitive galvanometer G connected across B and D shows no deflection. The null point is found to be at a distance of 30 cm from the end A. The resistor Y is shunted by a resistance of 12.0 Ω and the null point is found to shift by a distance of 10 cm. Determine the resistance of X and Y.
