$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series $(i)$ to support each other and $(ii)$ to oppose each other are balanced over $6 \ m$ and $2 \ m$ respectively on the potentiometer wire. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$s of the cells is:

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $1:1$
  • C
    $3:1$
  • D
    $2:1$

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

For the measurement of potential difference,a potentiometer is preferred in comparison to a voltmeter because

For the arrangement of the potentiometer shown in the figure,the balance point is obtained at a distance $75\,cm$ from $A$ when the key $k$ is open. The second balance point is obtained at $60\,cm$ from $A$ when the key $k$ is closed. Find the internal resistance (in $\Omega$) of the battery $E_1$.
