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
- 1.75
- 1.55
- 1.17
- 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\%
Answer: (3)
