Topic: Potentiometer Prepared By: Prajapati Rimaben Rameshbhai (130900109047)

Potentiometer It is basically a long piece of uniform wire, sometimes a few meters in length across which a standard cell is connected. It is used to find emf of a primary cell, to compare emf’s of two primary cells and to find internal resistance of a primary cell.

Construction It consists of a resistance wire of uniform cross sectional area and of length 4m to 10 m. It is fixed on a rectangular wooden board between point A and point C in zigzag way.

A metre scale is fixed below the first wire so as to measure the length of null point. A cell of constant e.m.f. E called as lead cell, is connected between point A and point C. The positive terminal of cell is connected to point A through plug key K and negative terminal of cell is connected to point C through rheostat Rh.

Principle of Working If the wire of potentiometer is of uniform cross section and a constant current flows through it, the potential between any two points of the wire is directly proportional to the length of wire between the points V(l) α l The potential per unit length of the wire is called potential gradient, denoted by ф and given by- ф = V/L V is the potential across potentiometer wire and L is the length of the potentiometer wire.

1. To Measure emf of a cell The positive terminal of cell is connected to point A and negative terminal is connected to jockey through galvanometer. Measure the length of null point N1 from point A (AN1 = l 1).

From this equation one can find emf of the cell. The emf of cell is balanced by the balancing length AN1 = l 1. By applying KVL in loop AE1GN1A, we have- -E1 +0 + фl1 = 0 or,  E1 = фl1 From this equation one can find emf of the cell.

2. To compare EMF of two cells The two cells of e.m.f. E1 and E2 along with two way key K1 and galvanometer G is connected with the potentiometer. When cell E1 is connected, at null point- E1 = фl1 ……(1)

When cell E2 is connected, at null point- E2 = фl2 ………… When cell E2 is connected, at null point- E2 = фl2 …………..(2) From equations (1) and (2) E1 /E2 = l1 /l2

3.To determine internal resistance of a cell A cell of e.m.f. E1 and internal resistance r1 is connected with potentiometer. The known resistance R1 from resistance box along with plug key K1 is connected across a cell of emf E1. Initially plug key K is closed and K1 is kept open.

Now momentarily touch the jockey at different points and select a point N1 at which galvanometer shows null deflection. Let AN1 = l1 be the balancing length for a cell of emf E1. Hence by the principle of potentiometer, we have E1 = фl1 …………(i) Now close both the plug keys K and K1 Take a suitable resistance R1 from resistance box. A cell of e.m.f. E1 supplies current I1 through R1. Therefore, potential difference across R1 is given by- V1 =I1R1 ………….(ii)

This potential difference is balanced by balancing length AN2 = l2 which is determined by touching the jockey at different points and selecting point N2 at which galvanometer shows null deflection. Hence by the principle of potentiometer, we have V1 = фl2 ………….(iii)

Precautions 1.The +ve or -ve terminal of driving cell is connected to that terminal of potentiometer at which +ve or -ve terminal of the cell of unknown e.m.f. is connected. 2.The emf of driving cell is greater than the unknown emf's of other cells connected in the potentiometer circuit.   3.The wire of potentiometer should be of uniform cross sectional area. 4.The resistance of potentiometer wire should be large.

Advantages of potentiometer over voltmeter 1. Potentiometer is used to measure e.m.f. of a cell while voltmeter is used to measure terminal P.O. of a cell. 2. By increasing length of potentiometer potential drop can be made as small as possible therefore it is used to measure very small P.O. 3. Potentiometer is more accurate than voltmeter. 4. Potentiometer is used for the calibration of readings of ammeter and voltmeter. But voltmeter can't be used for the calibration purpose.

Disadvantages of potentiometer over voltmeter   1. Potentiometer is not portable but voltmeter is portable. 2. Potentiometer does not give direct readings but voltmeter gives direct readings.
