उत्तर

Potential space gradient = `V_(AB)/I`
Using Kirchhoff’s rules,
`2=Ixx15+Ixx10=Ixx25=>I=2/25=0.08 A=>V_(AB)=Ixx10=0.8 =V`
`therefore " Potential space gradient "=(0.8/1)=0.8V/m`
Balance length = l
Potential difference across the balance length = Potential gradient × l
Potential difference across AO = 0.3 × 1 = 0.3 V
`therefore 0.3 V="Potential space gradient" xxI=>0.3=0.8xxI=>I=0.375 m=37.5`

The current in a conductor and the potential difference across its ends are measured by an ammeter and a voltmeter. The meters draw negligible currents. The ammeter is accurate but the voltmeter has a zero error (that is, it does not read zero when no potential difference is applied). Calculate the zero error if the readings for two different conditions are 1.75 A, 14.4 V and 2.75 A, 22.4 V.
