$A$ null point is found at $200\,cm$ in a potentiometer when the cell in the secondary circuit is shunted by $5\,\Omega$. When a resistance of $15\,\Omega$ is used for shunting,the null point moves to $300\,cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is $..............\,\Omega$.

In the arrangement shown in the figure,when the switch $S_2$ is open,the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = L/2$. When the switch $S_2$ is closed,the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = 5L/12$. The internal resistance $(r)$ of the $6\, V$ cell and the $emf$ $E$ of the other battery are respectively:

In an experiment to find the $emf$ of a cell using a potentiometer,the length of the null point for a cell of $emf$ $1.5 \ V$ is found to be $60 \ cm$. If this cell is replaced by another cell of $emf$ $E$,the length of the null point increases by $40 \ cm$. The value of $E$ is $\frac{x}{10} \ V$. The value of $x$ is $............$

The resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $40 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and its area of cross-section is $8 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$. If $0.2 \, A$ current is flowing through the wire,the potential gradient will be:
