connections are wrong or c.m.f. of the cell used is less). Starting from the point A touch the, jockey on the wire at various points and obtain the null point P,. Note the length L, of the, potentiometer wire between the Point A and P. ., , 4, Now disconnect the cell E, by opening key K,. And connect the cell E,by closing key K,, Obtain the null point P, and note the length L, of the potentiometer wire between the points A, & P,. Make sure that theostat position is same as in step 2., , 5, Repeat the observations alternately for each cell again by adjusting the rheostat at different, positions., , part -II (Sum and difference method), ].

Touch the Jockey at the other end of the potentiometer wire. If the, direction of deflection is opposite to that in the first case, the connections are correct. (If the, deflection is in the same direction then cither connections arewrong.or e.m_f. ofthe cell used, , ag’ is less). Starting from’the point A touch the jockey on the wire at various points and obtain: the, null point P,.
