potential drop across the potentiometer wire AB. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of 1.02
V (for very moderate currents up to a few ampere) gives a balance point of 67.3 cm length of the wire.
To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of 600 k is put in
series with it which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of
unknown emf E and the balance point found similarly turns out to be at 82.3 cm length of the wire.

In the circuit given below, both batteries are ideal. Emf E1 of battery 1 has a fixed value, but emf E2 of
battery 2 can be varied between 1.0 V and 10.0 V. The graph gives the currents through the two
batteries as a function of E2, but are not marked as which plot corresponds to which battery. But for
both plots, current is assumed to be negative when the direction of the current through the battery is
opposite the direction of that battery's emf. (direction of emf is from negative to positive)

Paragraph for Question Nos. 20 to 21

Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height h having rigid conducting plates at the ends and
an insulating curved surface as shown in the figure. A number of spherical balls made of a light weight
and soft material and coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have
a radius r << h. Now a high voltage source (HV) is connected across the conducting plates such that
the bottom plate is at +V0 and the top plate at –V0. Due to their conducting surface the balls will get
charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled by it. The balls will eventually collide
with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero due to the soft nature of
the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a parallel plate
capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is
negligible. (Ignore gravity) [JEE Advanced 2016 ; P-2, 3/62]

22. This question is about a closed electrical black box with three terminals A, B, and C as shown. It is
known that the electrical elements connecting the points A, B, C inside the box are resistances (if any)
in delta formation. A student is provided a variable power supply, an ammeter and a voltmeter.
Schematic symbols for these elements are given in part (a). She is allowed to connect these elements
externally between only two of the terminals (AB or BC or CA) at a time to form a suitable circuit.
