Figure shows a potentiometer circuit for determining the internal resistance of a cell. When switch S is open, the balance point is found to be at 76.3 cm of the wire. When switch S is closed and the value of R is 4.0 $\Omega$, the balance point shifts to 60.0 cm. The internal resistance of cell E' is. |
$ 1 \Omega$ $ 1.1 \Omega$ $ 2.1 \Omega$ $ 5.1 \Omega$ |
$ 1.1 \Omega$ |
$ r = \frac{l - l'}{l'} R = \frac{76.3 - 60}{60} 4\Omega = 1.1\Omega$ |
