(A) The current $I$ in the potentiometer wire $AC$ is given by:$I = \frac{E}{R_{total}} = \frac{2}{10 + R}$The potential difference $V_{AC}$ across the entire potentiometer wire is:$V_{AC} = I 	imes R_{wire} = \left( \frac{2}{10 + R} ight) 	imes 10$The potential gradient $k$ along the wire of length $L = 100 \, cm$ is:$k = \frac{V_{AC}}{L} = \left( \frac{2}{10 + R} ight) 	imes \frac{10}{100} = \frac{2}{10(10 + R)}$The source of $emf$ $E' = 10 \, mV = 10 	imes 10^{-3} \, V$ is balanced against a length $l = 40 \, cm$. The balancing condition is:$E' = k 	imes l$$10 	imes 10^{-3} = \left( \frac{2}{10(10 + R)} ight) 	imes 40$$10^{-2} = \frac{8}{10 + R}$$10 + R = \frac{8}{10^{-2}} = 800$$R = 800 - 10 = 790 \, \Omega$.

$A$ cell of internal resistance $1.5\,\Omega$ and of $e.m.f.$ $1.5\,V$ balances at $500\,cm$ on a potentiometer wire. If a wire of $15\,\Omega$ is connected between the balance point and the cell,then the balance point will shift:

$AB$ is a potentiometer wire as shown in the figure. If the value of $R$ is increased,in which direction will the balance point $J$ shift?

Resistance of $100 \, cm$ long potentiometer wire is $10 \, \Omega$. It is connected to a battery of $2 \, V$ and a resistance $R$ in series. $A$ source of $10 \, mV$ gives a null point at $40 \, cm$ length. The value of external resistance $R$ is ........... $\Omega$.

$A$ potentiometer consists of two wires $AC$ and $CB$ of the same material and of equal lengths but diameters in the ratio $3 : 1$. Then the potential gradients on the two wires will be in the ratio :-
