    A cell in secondary circuit gives null deflection for 2.5 m length of potentiometer having 10 m length of wire. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by 3 m without changing the cell in the primary, the position of the null point now is

    A)  3.5 m             

    B)  3 m

    C)  2.75 m           

    D)  2.0 m  

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Resistance of potentiometer wire \[R=\rho \times \frac{l}{A}\] or \[R=\left( \rho \times \frac{10}{A} \right)\] The value of \[2.5m\]length wire \[R=\frac{\rho \times 10}{A\times 10}\times 2.5\] or \[R=\left( \frac{2.5\rho }{A\times 10} \right)\] Potential     \[V=I\times R\] \[=I\left( \frac{2.5\rho }{A\times 10} \right)\] Now again the length of potentiometer wire is incased by 1 m, then resistance of null position wire. \[R=\left( \frac{\rho \times l}{11\times A} \right)\] \[V=IR\] and \[V=V\] \[\frac{I\times 2.5\rho }{A\times 10}=\frac{\rho \times l}{11\times A}\times I\] or \[\frac{2.5\times 11}{10}=l=2.75m\]
