The internal resistance of the cell comes out to be 1.5 ohm.
Step-by-step procedure
Given:
The balancing length at 5 ohms resistance; = 52cm
The resistance; R= 5 ohm
When the resistance of 5 ohms is inserted, the balancing length becomes; = 40cm
To find: Internal resistance
Solution:
We know from the formula to calculate the internal resistance of a cell:
r= R( ÷ -1)
r= 5(52÷40 - 1)
r= 5(52-40÷40)
r= 5(12÷40)
r= 15÷10
Thus, the internal resistance; r= 1.5 ohm
Result:
The internal resistance of the cell comes out to be 1.5 ohm.
