For a cell,the balancing length is $0.60 \, m$. For another cell having an electromotive force $(emf)$ $0.1 \, V$ less than the first one,the balancing length is $0.55 \, m$. What are the $emf$ values of the two cells?

In a potentiometer experiment,when key $K_1$ is closed,the balance length is $100 \, cm$. What will be the balancing length when key $K_2$ is closed? ................ $cm$

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ has a resistance of $10\, \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R$ and an accumulator of emf $2\, V$ and of negligible internal resistance. $A$ source of emf $10\, mV$ is balanced against a length of $40\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance $R$?

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 $\Omega$)

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of emf $1.5 \ V$ gives a balance point at $150 \ cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $210 \ cm$,what is the emf of the second cell (in $V$)?
