In the given figure, there is a circuit of potentiometer of length AB = 10m. The resistance per unit length is 0.1Ω per cm. Across AB, a battery of emf E and internal resistance 'r' is connected. The maximum value of emf measured by this potentiometer is :
(The diagram shows a primary circuit with a 6V battery and a 20Ω resistor connected across the potentiometer wire AB. The secondary circuit shows an emf source being measured.)

Correct Option - 3
Detailed Solution:Maximum value of emf is measured when pointer is at B with I? = 0.
So, I_AB = 6 / (20 + 0.1 × 1000) = 6/120 = 1/20 A
V_AB = E = I_AB × R_AB
= (1/20) × 100
= 5V
