You are provided with a potentiometer AB, a 102\(\Omega\) standard resistor R, a battery of emf 4.5V, a jockey J, and other necessary materials. Connect a circuit as shown in the diagram above. Close key K. Without J making contact with AB, read and record the ammeter reading I. Open the key. Use the jockey to make contact with AB at the 20cm mark such that AJ = x = 20cm. Close the key, read and record the ammeter reading. Evaluate x\(^{-1}\). Repeat the procedure for values of x= 35cm, 45cm, 60cm, and 80cm respectively. Tabulate your readings. Plot a graph with x\(^{-1}\) on the vertical axis and \(l_i\) on the horizontal axis, starting both axes from the origin (0, 0). Determine the slope, s, of the graph. From your graph, determine the value \(l_o\) of \(I_1\) for which x\(^{-1}\)= 0. Evaluate \(\frac{I_{o}}{I}\). State two precautions taken to obtain accurate results. (b)i. Define the emf of a battery. ii. A cell X of emf 1.018V is balanced by a length of 50.0cm on a potentiometer wire. Another cell Y is balanced by a length of 75.0cm on the same wire. Calculate the emf of Y.
