If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by keeping the potential difference across the wire constant,then:

In the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).

$A$ potentiometer is used to measure the potential difference between $A$ and $B$,and the null point is obtained at $0.9 \ m$. Now,the potential difference between $A$ and $C$ is measured,and the null point is obtained at $0.3 \ m$. Find the ratio $\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}}$,given that $E_{1} > E_{2}$.

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $\Omega$)?

In the potentiometer experiment shown in the figure,for the position $X$ of the jockey $J$,there occurs a null deflection in the galvanometer. Then the potential difference between points $A$ and $X$ is ................ $V$.
