A potentiometer wire PQ of 1m length is connected to a standard cell E1. Another cell E2 of emf 1.02 V is connected with a resistance 'r' and switch S (as shown in figure). With switch S open, the null position is obtained at a distance of 49 cm fromQ. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is :

  1. 0.02 V/cm
  2. 0.01 V/cm
  3. 0.03 V/cm
  4. 0.04 V/cm

Solution

PQ=1 m

QJ=49 cm

 PJ=51 cm

v=1.0251=0.02 v/cm
