In the potentiometer arrangement (figure), the driving cell has emf and internal resistance . The emf of the cell is to be rechecked has emf and internal resistance . The potentiometer wire is long. If balance is obtained, the length is,




Important Questions on Electrical Measuring Instruments
In a practical Wheatstone bridge circuit (figure), when one more resistance of is connected in parallel with unknown resistance , then the ratio becomes . is the balance length and is a uniform wire. Then, the value of must be,




Two ideal batteries having emf , and are connected as shown in the figure. The values of resistances are chosen in such a way that the ammeter reading is zero. The reading of the voltmeter will be (consider the meters to be ideal)


The figure shows a meter bridge set up with null deflection in the galvanometer. The value of the unknown resistor is

In the given arrangement, the reading of ammeter is same in each case when either or is closed. The reading of the ammeter is,
