$A$ potentiometer is an accurate and versatile device to make electrical measurements of $EMF$ because the method involves:

  • A
    potential gradients
  • B
    a condition of no current flow through the galvanometer
  • C
    cells
  • D
    a combination of cells,galvanometer and resistances

In a potentiometer,a wire of length $10 \ m$ having resistance $50 \ \Omega$ is used. $A$ battery of $5 \ V$ and a resistor of $450 \ \Omega$ are connected in series to the wire. If an unknown battery of emf $E$ balances the potentiometer at $450 \ cm$,then the value of $E$ is (in $V$)

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing point with a cell is at a length $240 \ cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes $120 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ potentiometer wire has length $L$. For a given cell of emf $E$,the balancing length is $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $50 \%$,then for the same cell,the balance point is obtained at length

If the resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $\rho$ and the area of cross-section is $A$,then what will be the potential gradient along the wire,given that a current $I$ flows through it?
