In the given potentiometer circuit length of the wire AB is 3m and resistance is R = 5Ω. The length AC for no deflection in galvanometer is

In the given potentiometer circuit length of the wire AB is 3m and resistance is R = 5Ω. The length AC for no deflection in galvanometer is

Options
A.2m
B. 1.8 m
C.dependent on r1
D.None of these
Solution
Potential gradient x = 
Here (x) (AC) = 3 ⇒ AC =
= 2m
Here (x) (AC) = 3 ⇒ AC =
