The negative Zn pole of a Daniell cell, sending a contant current through a circuit, decreases in mass by 0.13 g in 30 minutes. If the electrochemical equivalent of Zn and Cu are 32.5 and 31.5 respectively, the increase in the mass of the positive Cu pole in this time is
0.180 g
0.141 g
0.126 g
0.242 g
Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter because
it has a wire of high resistance
it has a wire of low resistance
it does not draw current from external circuit
it draws a heavy current from external circuit
In a potentiometer of 10 wires,the balance point is obtained on the 7th wire.To shift the balance point to 9th wire,we should
decrease resistance in the main circuit
increase resistance in the main circuit
decrease resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be measured
increase resistance in series with the cell whose emf is to be determined
Iron and silicon wires are heated from 30°C to 50°C.The correct statement is that
resistance of both the wires increases
resistance of both the wires decreases
resistance of iron wire increases and that of silicon wire decreases
resistance of iron wire decreases and that of silicon wire increases
Kirchhoff's current law at a junction deals with conservation of
charge
energy
momentum
all of these
