In an experiment to measure the internal resistance of a cell by a potentiometer,it is found that the balance point is at a length of $2\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $5\,\Omega$ resistance; and is at a length of $3\,m$ when the cell is shunted by a $10\,\Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is,then ................ $\Omega$.

In a potentiometer experiment,when two cells of emfs $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_2 > E_1)$ are connected in series,the balancing length is $160 \ cm$. If one of the cells is reversed,the balancing length decreases by $75 \%$. If $E_1 = 1.2 \ V$,then $E_2 =$ (in $V$)

$A$ wire of length $10 \ m$ and resistance $30 \ \Omega$ is connected to a battery of $emf$ $2.5 \ V$ and internal resistance $5 \ \Omega$ through an external resistance $R$. If the potential gradient along the wire is $50 \ \mu V/mm$,then $R = $ ................. $\Omega$.

In a potentiometer circuit, when two cells of e.m.f. $1.5 \text{ V}$ and $1.2 \text{ V}$ are connected to assist each other, the balancing length is $270 \text{ cm}$. What will be the balancing length in $\text{cm}$ when these two cells are connected in opposition?

In the circuit shown, a four-wire potentiometer is made of a $400\, cm$ long wire, which extends between $A$ and $B$. The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is $r = 0.01\, \Omega /cm$. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey $J$ at $50\, cm$ from end $A$, the expected reading of the voltmeter will be: ............... $V$
