In a potentiometer experiment, a null point is obtained at a particular point for a cell on a potentiometer wire of length $L$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by a few centimeters without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:

While doing an experiment with a potentiometer as shown in the figure,it was found that the deflection is one-sided and $(i)$ the deflection decreased while moving the jockey from one end $A$ of the wire to the end $B$; $(ii)$ the deflection increased while the jockey was moved towards the end $B$.
$(i)$ Which terminal ($+$ or $-ve$) of the cell $E_1$ is connected at $X$ in case $(i)$ and how is $E_1$ related to $E$?

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $L$ and a resistance $r$ are connected in series with a battery of e.m.f. $E_0$ and a resistance $r_1$. An unknown e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $l$ of the potentiometer wire. The e.m.f. $E$ will be given by

The figure shows a $2.0 \; V$ potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of a $1.5 \; V$ cell. The balance point of the cell in open circuit is $76.3 \; cm$. When a resistor of $9.5 \; \Omega$ is used in the external circuit of the cell,the balance point shifts to $64.8 \; cm$ length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance (in $\Omega$) of the cell.

In a potentiometer experiment,cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ are connected in series $(E_1 > E_2)$. The balancing length is $64 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $32 \ cm$. The ratio $\frac{E_1}{E_2}$ is: (in $: 1$)
