To compare EMF of two cells using potentiometer the balancing lengths obtained are 200 cm and 150 cm. The least count of scale is 1 cm. The percentage error in the ratio of EMFs is

  1. 1.75
  2. 1.55
  3. 1.17
  4. 1.65

Answer

(3) 1.17

Solution

E1E2 = l1l2

(E1/E2)E1/E2 100 = ( l1l1 + l2l2 ) 100

= ( 1200 + 1150 ) 100

= (0.005 + 0.00667) 100 1.17\%
