A potentiometer wire PQ of 1 m length is connected to a standard cell E₁. Another cell E₂ of emf 1.02 V is connected with a resistance 'r' and switch S (as shown in figure). With switch S open, the null position is obtained at a distance of 49 cm from Q. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is:

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:

V_PQ * (49/100). 1.02 = V_PQ * 0.49. V_PQ ≈ 2.08V.
Potential gradient = 2.08V/100cm = 0.0208 V/cm.
