$A$ 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 $.9$)

The accurate measurement of $emf$ can be obtained using

$A$ potentiometer wire is $100 \, cm$ long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite direction. The balance points are obtained at $50 \, cm$ and $10 \, cm$ from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of emfs is:

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:

The adjoining figure shows the connections of a potentiometer experiment to determine the internal resistance of a Leclanché cell. When the cell is on open circuit,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.4 \, m$,and on closing the key $K_2$,the balancing length becomes $1.7 \, m$. If the resistance $R$ through which current is drawn is $10 \, \Omega$,then the internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.

The figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of $2.0 \; V$ and internal resistance $0.40 \; \Omega$ maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire $AB$. $A$ standard cell which maintains a constant $emf$ of $1.02 \; V$ (for very moderate currents up to a few $mA$) gives a balance point at $67.3 \; cm$ length of the wire. To ensure very low currents are drawn from the standard cell,a very high resistance of $600 \; k \Omega$ is put in series with it,which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and the balance point found similarly,turns out to be at $82.3 \; cm$ length of the wire.
$(a)$ What is the value of $\varepsilon ?$
$(b)$ What purpose does the high resistance of $600 \; k \Omega$ have?
$(c)$ Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?
$(d)$ Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an $emf$ of $1.0 \; V$ instead of $2.0 \; V ?$
$(e)$ Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small $emf$,say of the order of a few $mV$ (such as the typical $emf$ of a thermocouple)? If not,how will you modify the circuit?
