Two cells of emf E1 and E2 (E2> E1) are connected in series in a secondary circuit of a potentiometer experiment for determination of emf. The balancing length is found to be 825 cm. Now when the terminals of cell of emf E1 are reversed, then the balancing length is found to be 225 cm. The ratio of E1 and E2 is, then-
A
2 : 3
B
4 : 7
C
7 : 4
D
None of these
Answer
4 : 7
Explanation
Solution
E2 + E1 = x(825)
E2 – E1 = x (225)
