The balancing length for a cell is 560 cm in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of 10 Omega is connected in parallel to the cell , the balancing length changes by 60 cm. If the internal resistance of the cell is (n)/(10) Omega the value of n is ....

Solution :12
Let, `epsilon` is emf of battery and , is internal resistance and x is potential gradient.when onJy battery is connected, then
`epsilon =560x ""` ....(1)
After connecting resistance ,
`(epsilon XX 10)/(10 + r)` = (560x - 60) x = 500x ...(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
`(560 xx 10X)/(10 + r)= 500`x
`therefore 56 = 50 + 5r`
`therefore 6 = 5r`
`therefore r = 1.2Omega`
`therefore (n)/(10) = 1.2"" therefore n = 12 `
