Question

Two cells of e.m.f.'s $E_1$ and $E_2\left(E_1>E_2\right)$ are connected as shown in figure: When a potentiometer is connected between A and B the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $300 \mathrm{~cm}$. By connecting the same potentiometer between $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{C}$, the balancing length is $100 \mathrm{~cm}$. The ratio of $\frac{E_1}{E_2}$ is

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

For balance potentiometer $\frac{E_{A B}}{E_{A C}}=\frac{l_{A B}}{l_{A C}}$ $\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow \frac{E_1}{E_1-E_2}=\frac{300}{100} \ & \Rightarrow 3 E_1-3 E_2=E_1 \ & \Rightarrow E_1: E_2=3: 2 \end{aligned}$
