Potential Dividers
 

Potential Dividers problem 19


A potentiometer circuit is used to determine the electromotive force (e.m.f.) of a cell. The circuit includes a second cell of known e.m.f. and negligible internal resistance, and a uniform resistance wire PQ of known length. is less than . The movable connection J can be positioned anywhere along the length of the resistance wire. Which circuit is suitable for determining ?
