A potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery, used across the potentiometer wire, has an emf of2.0 Vand a negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is4 mlong. When the resistance,R,connected across the given cell, has values of.
iinfinityii 9.5 Ω
The 'balancing lengths, on the potentiometer wire are found to be3mand2.85 m,respectively. The value of internal resistance of the cell is:NEET 2014

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

Here, we have to calculate the internal resistence of the unknown cell.

So, we have to use the following formulae:

Internal resistance of the unknown cell is
r=l1l2-1R=32.85-19.5Ω=0.5Ω

Hence the internal resistance will be 0.5 Ohm
