Question: Answered & Verified by Expert
In a potentiometer experiment, the balancing point with a cell is at a length \( 240 \mathrm{~cm} \). On
shunting the cell with a resistance of \( 2 \Omega \), the balancing length becomes \( 120 \mathrm{~cm} \). The internal
resistance of the cell is

Options:
  • A \( 1 \Omega \)
  • B \( 04 \Omega \)
  • C \( 0.5 \Omega \)
  • D \( 2 \Omega \)

The correct answer is: \( 2 \Omega \)
(D)
Internal resistance of a cell is \( R\left(\frac{l_{1}-l_{2}}{l_{2}}\right)=2\left(\frac{240-120}{120}\right)=2 \Omega \)
