    Potential divider and potentiometer principle

    does anyone knows how to do it? help and pls explain to me... thanks! 1) The slide-wire of a simple potentiometer is 2 meters long and has a resistance of 5 ohms. The emf of the working battery is 6 V and its internal resistance is 0.20 W. What resistance must be added to the working-battery...

    Why are certain procedures necessary in a potentiometer experiment?

    can someone please explain to me...? explain the reasons for the following procedures in potentiometer experiment: (a)the positive pole of a battery whose emf is required is connected to the same terminal of the potentiometer wire as the positive pole of the driver cell. (b)The protective...

    Discover the Formula for Calculating Potential Difference with a Potentiometer

    I have a homework question about a potentiometer. There is a resistor between a and b that is a uniform wire of length l, with a sliding contact c at a distance x from b. An unknown potential difference V is measured by sliding the contact until the galvonometer G reads zero. I need to show...

    Sizing a Potentiometer and padding resistors

    Hello I have an Electronic control unit supplying +5volts and 15mA to a Potentiometer. The control unit needs to have padding resistors that need to be sized correctly so the output of the potentiometer is 0.5 volts to 4.5 volts. Can anyone help me figure out how to size the potentiometer and...
