The length of a potentiometer wire is $2.5 \ m$ and its resistance is $8 \ \Omega$. $A$ cell of negligible internal resistance and emf of $2.5 \ V$ is connected in series with a resistance of $242 \ \Omega$ in the primary circuit. The potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $20 \ cm$ on the potentiometer wire is (in $mV$)

In a potentiometer experiment, a cell of emf $1.25 \,V$ gives a balancing length of $30 \,cm$. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balancing length is found to be $40 \,cm$. What is the emf of the second cell?

$A$ 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 $E_{1} > E_{2}$.

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

Two cells of e.m.f.s $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When the potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.60 \ m$. On connecting the potentiometer between $A$ and $C$,the balancing length is $0.90 \ m$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is
