(b) \(0.5 L\)
(c) \(0.6 L\)
(d) \(0.8 L\)
Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) \(0.6 L\)
Explanation:
1. \(I=\frac{E}{{R}_{T}}=\frac{2.5}{10+R}\) and \(V=I.R=\frac{2.5×10}{10+R}=\frac{25}{10+R}\)
2. \(x=\frac{V}{L}=\frac{25}{(10+R)L}\)
3. \(E=x.{l}_{1}\)
4. \(⇒1=\frac{25}{(10+R)L}×\frac{L}{2}⇒25=20+2R\)
5. \(⇒2R=5⇒R=\frac{5}{2}\)
6. \(∴\)Now the resistance is doubled
7. \({R}^{1}=\frac{5}{2}×2=5Ω\)

Show Answer & Explanation
Answer: (c) It does not draw current from external circuit
Explanation:
1. When we measure the emf of a cell by the potentiometer then no current flows in the circuit in zero-deflection condition \(ie\), cell is in open circuit. Thus, in this condition the actual value of a cell is found. In this way, potentiometer is equivalent to an ideal voltmeter of infinite resistance.
