In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of emf $1.20\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of emf $1.80\, V$. The difference in balancing length of potentiometer wire in above conditions will be $....cm$.

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ has a resistance of $10\, \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R$ and an accumulator of emf $2\, V$ and of negligible internal resistance. $A$ source of emf $10\, mV$ is balanced against a length of $40\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance $R$?

For comparing the $e.m.f.$'s of two cells with a potentiometer,a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful?

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 $\Omega$)

In an experiment to find the emf of a cell using a potentiometer, the length of the null point for a cell of emf $1.5 \text{ V}$ is found to be $60 \text{ cm}$. If this cell is replaced by another cell of emf $E$, the length of the null point increases by $40 \text{ cm}$. The value of $E$ is $x/10 \text{ V}$. The value of $x$ is
