The cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ are connected as shown in figure and $E_1> E_2$. When a potentiometer is connected between point X and Y, the balancing length of potentiometer wire is 150 cm. On connecting the same potentiometer between X and Z, the balancing length is 50 cm. The ratio of emf $E_1$ and $E_2$ is: |
1 : 3 3 : 4 4 : 3 3 : 1 |
3 : 4 |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3 : 4 emf ∝ balancing length and, Balancing length = 50 cm $E_1∝150$ and $E_1-E_2∝50$ $∴\frac{E_1}{E_2-E_1}=\frac{150}{50}$ $3E_2=4E_1$ $\frac{E_1}{E_2}=\frac{3}{4}$ |
