$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $100 \ cm$ and is connected to a cell of $emf \ E$. It is used to measure the $emf \ E_0$ of a battery with an internal resistance of $0.5 \ \Omega$. If the balance point is obtained at a distance of $\ell = 30 \ cm$ from the positive terminal,the $emf \ E_0$ of the battery is:

$A$ potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$, the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain a balance point between $X$ and $Y$, it is necessary to

The figure shows a potentiometer wire $AB$ having a resistance of $5 \text{ } \Omega$ and a length of $10 \text{ m}$. The e.m.f. of the battery in the primary circuit is $5 \text{ V}$ and the external resistance is $45 \text{ } \Omega$. If the e.m.f. of the cell in the secondary circuit is $0.4 \text{ V}$, find the balancing length $AP$. (Internal resistance is negligible) (in $\text{ m}$)

The current in the primary circuit of a potentiometer is $0.2 \, A$. The specific resistance and cross-section of the potentiometer wire are $4 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and $8 \times 10^{-7} \, m^2$ respectively. The potential gradient will be equal to .............. $V/m$.

$A$ potentiometer wire is $4 \,m$ long and a potential difference of $3 \,V$ is maintained between its ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $100 \,cm$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $V$)
