    In a potentiometer experiment of a cell of emf 1.25 V gives balancing length of 30 cm. If the cell is replaced by another cell, balancing length is found to be 40 cm. What is the emf of second cell?

    A)  \[\simeq 1.47V\]       

    B)  \[\simeq 1.57V\]

    C)  \[\simeq 1.37V\]       

    D)  \[\simeq 1.67V\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    :   As  \[\frac{{{\varepsilon }_{1}}}{{{\varepsilon }_{2}}}=\frac{{{l}_{1}}}{{{l}_{2}}}\] where \[{{\varepsilon }_{1}}\] and \[{{\varepsilon }_{2}}\] are the emfs of two cells and \[{{l}_{1}}\] and \[{{l}_{2}}\] are the corresponding balancing lengths of the potentiometer wire. \[\therefore \] \[{{\varepsilon }_{2}}=\frac{{{l}_{2}}}{{{l}_{1}}}{{\varepsilon }_{1}}\] Here, \[{{\varepsilon }_{1}}=1.25V,\,{{l}_{1}}=30cm,\,{{l}_{2}}=40cm\] \[\therefore \] \[{{\varepsilon }_{2}}=\frac{40}{30}\times 1.25=1.67V\]
