A potentiometer wire of length 100, cm has a resistance of 10, ohm. It is connected in series with a resistance and an accumulator of

Q: A potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ has a resistance of $10\, ohm.$ It is connected in series with a resistance and an accumulator of emf $2\,V$ and of negligible internal resistance. A source of emf $10\, mV$ is balanced against a length of $40\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance :- ................. $\Omega$

d $\mathrm{i}=\frac{2}{10+\mathrm{R}}$ $\mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\ell}=\frac{2 \times 10}{(\mathrm{R}+10)} \cdot \frac{1}{100}$ $\mathrm{V}_{1}=\mathrm{x} \ell \quad \Rightarrow \quad 10 \times 10^{-3}=\frac{2 \times 10}{(\mathrm{R}+10)} \times \frac{40}{100}$ $\mathrm{R}+10=\frac{8}{10 \times 10^{-3}}$ $\Rightarrow \quad \mathrm{R}+10=800 \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}=790\, \Omega$
