Answer:
Case 1: Balancing length when cell is shunted l1 = 150 cm = 1.5 m, Value of shunt = R = 5 ohm. Case 2: Balancing length when cell is shunted l1 = 175 cm = 1.75 m, Value of shunt = R = 10 ohm. Example 06: A cell balances against a length of 250 cm on potentiometer wire when it is shunted by a resistance of 10 ohms
