$A$ cell balances against a length of $150 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when it is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$. But when it is shunted by a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$,then the balancing length increases by $25 \ cm$. The balancing length when the cell is in an open circuit is: (in $cm$)

$A$ 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 $m$)

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 $mV$)
