In the given figure,there is a circuit of a potentiometer of length $AB = 10 \, m$. The resistance per unit length is $0.1 \, \Omega/cm$. $A$ battery of $6 \, V$ and an internal resistance of $20 \, \Omega$ is connected across $AB$. The maximum value of emf that can be measured by this potentiometer is (in $V$):

$A$ potentiometer wire is $4 \text{ m}$ long and a potential difference of $3 \text{ V}$ is maintained between the ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $100 \text{ cm}$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\text{ V}$)

$A$ potentiometer circuit shown in the figure is set up to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell $E$. As the point $P$ moves from $X$ to $Y$, the galvanometer $G$ shows deflection always in one direction, but the deflection decreases continuously until $Y$ is reached. In order to obtain a balance point between $X$ and $Y$, it is necessary to
