Q.

A null point is found at 200 cm in potentiometer when cell in secondary circuit is shunted by 5Ω . When a resistance of 15Ω is used for shunting null point moves to 300 cm. The internal resistance of the cell is ______ Ω.                         [2023]


Ans.

(5)

εr+5×5=200x                       ....(i)

ε×15r+15=300x                           ...(ii)

 r=5Ω
