A potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is k volt/cm and the ammeter present in the circuit reads 1.0 A when two way key is switched off. The balance points when the key between the terminals (i) 1 and 2 (ii) 1 and 3 is plugged in are found to be at length l1l_1 cm and l2l_2 cm respectively. The magnitudes of the resistors R and X in ohms are then equal respectively to k(l2−l1)k(l_2-l_1) and kl2kl_2 kl1kl_1 and k(l2−l1)k(l_2-l_1) k(l2−l1)k(l_2-l_1) and kl1kl_1 kl1kl_1 and kl2kl_2

Multiple Choice Options

  • A μ\mu _ = 1.33
  • B μ\mu _ = 1.40
  • C μ\mu _ = 1.50
  • D μ\mu _ = 1.25

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

For total internal reflection, sini > sinC where, i = angle of incidence, C = critical angle But, sinC = 1 _ _ sini > 1 _ _ _ > 1 sin _ i _ _ > 1 sin _ 45 _ _ _ > 2
