In a potentiometer experiment, the balancing length with a cell is $560 \, cm$. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

  • A
    $1 \, \Omega$
  • B
    $2 \, \Omega$
  • C
    $1.2 \, \Omega$
  • D

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $\Omega$)?

$A$ uniform conducting wire $AB$ of length $5 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$ is connected as shown in the circuit. If the balancing point is obtained at $3 \, m$ from $A$, then the value of $E$ is. (in $ \, V$)

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? ................ $cm$

The potential difference across the ends of a potentiometer wire is constant. Two cells are connected in such a way that they first assist each other and then oppose each other. They are balanced on the potentiometer wire at lengths of $120 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. The ratio of the electromotive forces $(EMF)$ of the cells is:

Let $A$ be the cross-sectional area and $\rho$ be the specific resistance (resistivity) of a potentiometer wire. If $I$ is the current passing through the wire,then the potential gradient along the length of the wire is
