what factors limit the accuracy of a potentiometer and what was the objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​

Physics
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

<em>"The accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, and this can be achieved by increasing the length"</em>

<em />

<u>The factors that are affecting/limiting the accuracy of the potentiometer are: </u>

  1. The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire.
  2. The potential gradient
  3. The current passing through the potentiometer wire.
  4. Area of a cross-section of the wire
  5. Internal temperature.

     

<u>The objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​</u>

If the jockey of the potentiometer is pressed for a long time, joule heating sets in, so that reversing the terminals of the potentiometer will prevent the resistance due to joule heat from being added to the measured resistance, ultimately preventing unwanted resistance

What is equilibrium????
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Explanation:

An equilibrium is a state in which opposing forces or influences are banned.

An example of equilibrium is in economics when supply and demand are equal. An example of equilibrium is when you are calm and steady. An example of equilibrium is when hot air and cold air are entering the room at the same time so that the overall temperature of the room does not change at all.

When you lift an object, you add the energy of lifting to the object.<br> Tor F
PtichkaEL [24]

It's true, when we lift an object we add energy to it.

because, when we lift an object by applying force , the object attains a height and hence the energy gets stored in it, in the form gravitational potential energy .

51. Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 3.200-V lithium cell having an internal resistance of 5.00Ω by placing a 1.00-
Tanya [424]

Explanation:

Given that,

Terminal voltage = 3.200 V

Internal resistance r= 5.00\ \Omega

(a). We need to calculate the current

Using rule of loop

E-IR-Ir=0

I=\dfrac{E}{R+r}

Where, E = emf

R = resistance

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{3.200}{1.00\times10^{3}+5.00}

I=3.184\times10^{-3}\ A

(b). We need to calculate the terminal voltage

Using formula of terminal voltage

V=E-Ir

Where, V = terminal voltage

I = current

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

V=3.200-3.184\times10^{-3}\times5.00

V=3.18\ V

(c). We need to calculate the ratio of the terminal voltage of voltmeter equal to emf

\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}=\dfrac{3.18}{3.200 }

\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}= \dfrac{159}{160}

Hence, This is the required solution.
