In a potentiometer, the null point is received at the $7^{th}$ wire. If we now want to shift the null point to the $9^{th}$ wire, what should we do?

  • A
    Increase resistance in series with the applied $EMF$
  • B
    Increase resistance in the main circuit
  • C
    Decrease resistance in the main circuit
  • D
    Decrease the applied $EMF$

In a potentiometer experiment,when key $K_1$ is closed,the balance length is $100 \, cm$. What will be the balancing length when key $K_2$ is closed? ................ $cm$

When a cell of e.m.f. $E_1$ is connected to a potentiometer wire,the balancing length is $\ell_1$. Another cell of e.m.f. $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected such that the two cells oppose each other,and the balancing length is $\ell_2$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is:

In a potentiometer experiment,two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are used in series and in conjunction,and the balancing length is found to be $58 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $29 \ cm$. The ratio $\frac{E_1}{E_2}$ of the $e.m.f.$ of the two cells is: (in $:1$)

$A$ cell in a 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 $m$)

$A$ $10 \,m$ long potentiometer wire is connected to a battery having a steady voltage. $A$ Leclanche cell is balanced at $4 \,m$ length of the wire. If the length is kept the same,but its cross-section is doubled,the null point will be obtained at ........... $m$.
