The balancing length for a cell is $560 \; cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \; \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length changes by $60 \; cm$. If the internal resistance of the cell is $\frac{N}{10} \; \Omega$,where $N$ is an integer,then the value of $N$ is:

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length for a cell is $240 \ cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes half the initial balancing length. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{5}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,the same cell will give a balance point at distance $x$. The value of $x$ 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 $:1$)

In the experiment to determine the internal resistance $(r)$ of a cell $(E_1)$ using a potentiometer,the resistance drawn from the resistance box is $R$. The potential difference across the balancing length of the wire is equal to the terminal potential difference $(V)$ of the cell. The value of the internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell is:
