In the given figure, there is a circuit of potentiometer of length AB=10 m. The resistance per unit length is 0.1 Ω per cm. Across AB, a battery of emf E and internal resistance r is connected. The maximum value of emf measured by this potentiometer is:

  1. 5 V
  2. 2.25 V
  3. 6 V
  4. 2.75 V

Solution

Maximum voltage that can be measured by this potentiometer will be equal to potential drop across AB

RAB=10×0.1×100=100 ohm

 VAB=620+100×100=6×100120=5 V
