97. In a potentiometer experiment, it is that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across 52 cm of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of 5 ohm, a balance is found when the cell is connected across 40 cm of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

101. Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of 2.0 V and internal resistance 0.40 ohm maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02 V (for very moderate currents upto a few mA) gives a balance point at 67.3 cm length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of 600 kilo ohm is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf E and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire.

(a) What is the value E?
(b) What purpose does the high resistance of 600 kilo ohm have?
(c) Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?
(d) Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an emf of 1.0V instead of 2.0V?
(e) Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small emf, say of the order of a few mV (such as the typical emf of a thermo-couple)? If not, how will you modify the circuit?
Answer- (a) E = 1.25 V.
(b) To reduce current through the galvanometer when the movable contact is far from the balance point. (c) No.
(d) No. If E is greater than the emf of the driver cell of the potentiometer, there will be no balance point on the wire AB.
(e) The circuit, as it is, would be unsuitable, because the balance point (for ε of the order of a few mV) will be very close to the end A and the percentage error in measurement will be very large. The circuit is modified by putting a suitable resistor R in series with the wire AB so that potential drop across AB is only slightly greater than the emf to be measured. Then, the balance point will be at larger length of the wire and the percentage error will be much smaller.
