To determine the internal resistance of a cell by using a potentiometer,the null point is at $1 \ m$,when shunted by $3 \ \Omega$ resistance and at a length $1.5 \ m$,when cell is shunted by $6 \ \Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is (in $\Omega$)

When two cells are connected in series in a potentiometer circuit to assist each other,the balancing length is $6 \ m$. When they are connected in series to oppose each other,the balancing length is $2 \ m$. What is the ratio of the $EMF$ of the two cells?

The length of a potentiometer wire is $l$. $A$ cell of emf $E$ is balanced at a length $\left(\frac{l}{3}\right)$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\left(\frac{l}{2}\right)$,the distance at which the same cell gives the balancing point is (The cell in the primary circuit is ideal and no series resistance is present in the primary circuit.)

The length of a potentiometer wire is $1200 \; cm$ and it carries a current of $60 \; mA$. For a cell of $emf \; 5 \; V$ and internal resistance of $20 \; \Omega$,the null point on it is found to be at $1000 \; cm$. The resistance of the whole wire is .............. $\Omega$.

The balancing length for a cell is $560 \, cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms, is
