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

The balanced point is obtained when the potential difference of the wire between the positive end and the jockey  because equal to the emf of the experiment cell and such that no current flow in the galvanometer.
