Question
When a resistor of \(5 \Omega\) is connected across the cell, its terminal potential difference is balanced by \(150 cm\) of potentiometer wire and when a resistance of \(10 \Omega\) is connected across cell, the terminal potential difference is balanced by \(175 cm\) same potentiometer wire. Find the balancing length when the cell is in open circuit and the internal resistance of the cell.

In a periodic table the average atomic mass of magnesium is given as $24.312\ u$. The average value is based on their relative natural abundance on earth. The three isotopes and their masses are ${ }_{12}^{24} Mg\  (23.98504\ u),$ ${ }_{12}^{25} Mg\  (24.98584\ u)$ and ${ }_{12}^{26} Mg\ (25.98259\ u).$ The natural abundance of ${ }_{12}^{24} Mg$ is $78.99 \%$ by mass. Calculate the abundances of other two isotopes.
