When a cell of e.m.f. $E_1$ is connected to a potentiometer wire,the balancing length is $\ell_1$. Another cell of e.m.f. $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected such that the two cells oppose each other,and the balancing length is $\ell_2$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is:

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $4 \text{ m}$ and resistance $5 \Omega$ is connected in series with a resistance of $992 \Omega$ and a cell of e.m.f. $4 \text{ V}$ with internal resistance $3 \Omega$. The length of $0.75 \text{ m}$ on the potentiometer wire balances the e.m.f. of: (in $\text{ mV}$)

For comparing the $e.m.f.$'s of two cells with a potentiometer,a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful?

While doing an experiment with a potentiometer as shown in the figure,it was found that the deflection is one-sided and $(i)$ the deflection decreased while moving the jockey from one end $A$ of the wire to the end $B$; $(ii)$ the deflection increased while the jockey was moved towards the end $B$.
$(i)$ Which terminal ($+$ or $-ve$) of the cell $E_1$ is connected at $X$ in case $(i)$ and how is $E_1$ related to $E$?
$(ii)$ Which terminal of the cell $E_1$ is connected at $X$ in case $(ii)$?

In a potentiometer experiment for the determination of the internal resistance of a cell,when an external resistance of $R$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length decreases by $10 \%$. The internal resistance of the cell is
