Two cells,when connected in series,are balanced on $8 \; m$ on a potentiometer. If the cells are connected such that the polarity of one of the cells is reversed,they balance on $2 \; m$. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells is:

In a potentiometer experiment,when three cells $A, B$ and $C$ are connected in series,the balancing length is found to be $420 \ cm$. If cells $A$ and $B$ are connected in series,the balancing length is $220 \ cm$ and for cells $B$ and $C$ connected in series,the balancing length is $320 \ cm$. The emf of cells $A, B$ and $C$ are respectively in the ratio of:

The area of cross-section of a potentiometer wire is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2$. The potential difference per unit length of the potentiometer wire when it is connected to a cell of negligible internal resistance and a resistor in series is $0.15 \ Vm^{-1}$. If the current through the potentiometer wire is $0.3 \ A$,then the resistivity of the material of the potentiometer wire is:

$A$ potentiometer wire has length $4 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$. It is connected in series with $495 \, \Omega$ resistance and a cell of e.m.f. $4 \, V$. The potential gradient along the wire is (in $V/m$)

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 $A$).
