NEET 2021 Physics Potentiometer MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

In a potentiometer circuit a cell of EMF 1.5 V gives balance point at 36 cm length of wire. If another cell of EMF 2.5 V replaces the first cell, then at what length of the wire, the balance point occurs ?

A

60 cm

B

21.6 cm

C

64 cm

D

62 cm

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The balance length is directly proportional to the EMF of the cell. Thus, 2.51.5×36=60\frac{2.5}{1.5} \times 36 = 60 cm.
