The resistance of the meter bridge AB in given figure is 4 Ω Ω . With a cell of emf ε = 0.5 V and rheostat resistance R h = 2 Ω Ω the null point is obtained at some point J. When the cell is replaced by another one of emf ε = ε 2 the same null point J is found for R h = 6 Ω Ω . The emf ε 2 is:

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
In circuit, when R h = 2 Ω Ω
i 1 =
, ε =
× AJ
AJ =
…..(i)
when R h = 6 Ω Ω
i 2 = 
ε 2 = 
AJ =
…..(ii)
From (i) & (ii)

ε 2 = 0.6 × ε
= 0.6 × 0.5 = 0.3V
