The resistance of a potentiometer wire is 8 Ω and its length is 8 m. A resistance box and a 2 V battery are connected in series with iL What should be the resistance in the box if it is desired to have a potential drop of 1 µV/mm?

उत्तर
Data: R = 8 Ω, L = 8 m, E = 2 V, K = 1 µV/ mm
`= 1 xx (10^-6 "V")/(10^-3 "m") = 10^-3 "V"//"m"`
K = `"V"/"L" = "ER"/(("R" + "R"_"B")"L")`, where RB is the resistance in the box.
∴ `10^-3 = (2 xx 8)/((8 + "R"_"B")8)`
∴ `8 + "R"_"B" = 2/10^-3`
∴ `8 + "R"_"B" = 2 xx 10^3`
∴ `"R"_"B" = 2000 - 8`
∴ `"R"_"B"` = 1992 ohm

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 Ω maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents up to a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, very high resistance of 600 kΩ is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf ε and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire.

(b) What purpose does the high resistance of 600 kΩ have?
