The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{4}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the original wire is increased by $\frac{L}{3}$,then using the same cell,the null point is obtained at:

  • A
    $\frac{L}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3L}{4}$

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 length of a potentiometer wire is $1200 \; cm$ and it carries a current of $60 \; mA$. For a cell of $emf \; 5 \; V$ and internal resistance of $20 \; \Omega$,the null point on it is found to be at $1000 \; cm$. The resistance of the whole wire is .............. $\Omega$.
