Question

Transcribed Image Text:A potentiometer consisting of a wire of length = 10 cm has a source of emf, ε = 15V connected across it. When a standard cell with emf V = 6V, in series
with a voltmeter, is connected at one end of the wire and at a distance L along the wire the voltmeter circuit is in balance and the voltmeter reads
zero.
What is the value of the balance length L?
