Question
In the fig. the potentiometer wire AB of length L & resistance 9 r is joined to the cell D of e.m.f. ε & internal resistance r. The cell C′s e.m.f. is ε/2 and its internal resistance is 2r. The galvanometer G will show no deflection when the length AJ is:


Options
A.4L/9
B.5L/9
C.7L/18
D.11L/18
Solution
Current in primary circuit. I = 
Potential drop across length AB = VAB = I.R
VAB =
= 
x =
For balance point
= x l =
