उत्तर
Given:
R = 20 Ω, L = 10 m, E = 1.5 V,
K = 1 μV/cm = 1 × (10-6 /10-2 ) V/ m
= 10-4 V/ m
To find: External resistance (RE)
Formula: K = `"V"/"L"`
Calculation:
Since, I = `"E"/("R" + "R"_"E")`
Also, V = IR = `"ER"/("R" + "R"_"E")`
From formula,
K = `"ER"/(("R" + "R"_"E")"L")`
R + RE = `"ER"/"KL"`
∴ RE = `(1.5 xx 20)/(10^-4 xx 10) - 20 = 30000 - 20`
∴ RE = 29980 Ω
The external resistance should be 29980 Ω.

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.
