In a potentiometer experiment for the determination of the internal resistance of a cell,when an external resistance of $R$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length decreases by $10 \%$. The internal resistance of the cell is

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $1 \, m$ is connected in series with a $490 \, \Omega$ resistance and a $2 \, V$ battery. If the potential gradient is $0.2 \, mV/cm$,then the resistance of the potentiometer wire is ................ $\Omega$. (in $.9$)

Two students $X$ and $Y$ perform a potentiometer experiment separately and the null point was obtained as shown in the diagram. During the experiment:
$(i)$ $X$ increases the value of $R$ (resistance).
(ii) $Y$ decreases the value of $S$ (resistance) without any other change.
The position of the null point obtained by students $X$ and $Y$ respectively:

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $4 \ m$ and a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. It is connected to a cell of $2 \ V$ emf. The potential gradient (potential difference per unit length) of the wire is: (in $V/m$)

In a potentiometer experiment,a wire of length $10 \ m$ and resistance $5 \ \Omega$ is connected to a cell of emf $2.2 \ V$. If the potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $660 \ cm$ on the potentiometer wire is $1.1 \ V$,then the internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)
