A wire of uniform cross-section is stretched along a meter stick, and a potential difference of 0.3 V is maintained between the 51 cm and 62 cm marks. How far apart on the wire are two points that differ in potential by 112 mV ? Answer in units of cm.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]l_{2} = 4106 \times 10^{-3} = 4.1 cm[/tex]

Explanation:

GIVEN

potential difference  = 0.3 V

and given length =  62 -51 = 11 cm

question

how far apart on the wire are two points that differ in potential by 112 m V?

potential difference = 112 m V

by using formula [tex]V \alpha l[/tex]

[tex]\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = \frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}[/tex]

[tex]l_{2} =?[/tex]

[tex]l_{2} = \frac{V_2}{V_{1}} l_{1}[/tex]

put the values we get

[tex]l_{2} = 4106 \times 10^{-3} = 4.1 cm[/tex]

The wire are two points that differ in potential will be "4.1 cm" far apart.

Potential difference

According to the question,

Potential difference, V = 0.3 V

Length, l = 62 - 51

               = 11 cm    

We know the relation,

→ Potential difference (V) ∝ Length (l)

then,

→ [tex]\frac{V_1}{V_2} =\frac{l_1}{l_2}[/tex]

or,

   l₂ = [tex]\frac{V_2}{V_1}[/tex] l₁

By substituting the above values,

      = 4106 × 10⁻³

      = 4.1 cm  

Thus the above approach is appropriate.
