In the experiment of calibration of a voltmeter,a standard cell of $e.m.f. = 1.1 \text{ V}$ is balanced against $440 \text{ cm}$ of a potentiometer wire. The potential difference across a resistance is found to balance against $220 \text{ cm}$ of the wire. The corresponding reading of the voltmeter is $0.5 \text{ V}$. The error in the reading of the voltmeter will be ................. $V$.

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length with a cell is $240 \ cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes $120 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is ................. $\Omega$.

$A$ potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery,used across the potentiometer wire,has an $EMF$ of $2.0\,V$ and a negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is $4\,m$ long. When the resistance $R$,connected across the given cell,has values of $(i)$ infinity and $(ii)$ $9.5\,\Omega$,the balancing lengths on the potentiometer wire are found to be $3\,m$ and $2.85\,m$,respectively. The value of internal resistance of the cell is ............... $\Omega$.

In an experiment with a potentiometer,$V_B = 10 \, V$ and the variable resistance is adjusted to $R = 50 \, \Omega$ (figure). $A$ student wanting to measure the voltage $E_1$ of a battery (approx. $8 \, V$) finds no null point. He then diminishes $R$ to $10 \, \Omega$ and is able to locate the null point on the last $(4^{th})$ segment of the potentiometer wire. Find the resistance of the potentiometer wire and the potential drop per unit length.
