Question
For comparing the e.m.f.'s of two cells with a potentiometer, a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful.
Options:
A .  The e.m.f. of the standard cell is larger than the E e.m.f.'s of the two cells
B .  The diameter of the wires is the same and uniform throughout
C .  The number of wires is ten
D .  The e.m.f. of the standard cell is smaller than the e.m.f.'s of the two cells
Answer: Option D
:
D
The emf of the standard cell must be greater than that of experimental cells, otherwise balance point is not obtained.
