Question:

In a potentiometre, the balanced point is obtained when:

Options:

the emf of the battery becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell

the potential difference of the wire between the +ve end and the jockey becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell

the potential difference of the wire between the +ve end and the jockey becomes equal to the emf of battery

the potential difference across the potentiometer wire becomes equal to the emf of the battery

Correct Answer:

the potential difference of the wire between the +ve end and the jockey becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → the potential difference of the wire between the +ve end and the jockey becomes equal to the emf of the experimental cell
