In the given potentiometer circuit, the resistance of the potentiometer wire $AB$ is $R_0$. $C$ is a cell of internal resistance $r$. The galvanometer $G$ does not give zero deflection for any position of the jockey $J$. Which of the following cannot be a reason for this?
A$r > R_0$
B$R > > R_0$
C$\mathrm{emf}$ of $C > $ $\mathrm{emf}$ of $D$
DThe negative terminal of $C$ is connected to $A.$

A$r > R_0$
a For potentiometer to measure the internal resistance of cell it should be connected across point $A$ of wire and galvanometer, with positive terminal to point $A$ and negative terminal to galvanometer. Emf of $E$ should not exceed emf of driver cell. Also resistance connected in series with cell in galvanometer circuit should not far more than resistance of wire. If reverses all the above conditions jockey will not show deflection.
Also, $r=R\left(\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}-1\right) .$ Hence, $r$ does not depends on resistance of potentiometer wire.

Two resistors of resistance, $100\,\Omega$ and $200\,\Omega$ are connected in parallel in an electrical circuit. The ratio of the thermal energy developed in $100\,\Omega$ to that in $200\,\Omega$ in a given time is:
In an experiment, the resistance of a material is plotted as a function of temperature (in some range). As shown in the figure, it is a straight line. One may conclude that:
A hollow cylindrical conductor has length of $3.14\,m$, while its inner and outer diameters are $4\,mm$ and $8\,mm$ respectively. The resistance of the conductor is $n \times 10^{-3}\,\Omega$.If the resistivity of the material is $2.4 \times 10^{-8}\,\Omega\,m$. The value of $n$ is $..........$
An electric kettle has two heating coils. When one of the coils is connected to an a.c. sotuce, the water in the kettle boils in $10$ minutes. When the other coil is used the w’ater boils in $40$ minutes. If both the coils are connected in parallel, the time taken by the same quantity of water to boil will be ...... $min$
There are $8$ equal resistances $R$. Two are connected in parallel, such four groups are connected in series, the total resistance of the system will be
Potentiometer wire of length $1 \,m$ is connected in series with $490\,\Omega $ resistance and $2\,V$ battery. If $0.2\, mV/cm $ is the potential gradient, then resistance of the potentiometer wire is ................ $\Omega$
A wire of length $10 \mathrm{~cm}$ and radius $\sqrt{7} \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~m}$ connected across the right gap of a meter bridge. When a resistance of $4.5 \ \Omega$ is connected on the left gap by using a resistance box, the balance length is found to be at $60 \mathrm{~cm}$ from the left end. If the resistivity of the wire is $\mathrm{R} \times 10^{-7} \Omega \mathrm{m}$, then value of $\mathrm{R}$ is :
