The potential gradient along the length of a uniform wire is $10\,V/m$. $B$ and $C$ are two points at $30\,cm$ and $60\,cm$ on a meter scale fitted along the wire. The potential difference between $B$ and $C$ will be ............. $V$.

In the experiment to determine the internal resistance $(r)$ of a cell $(E_1)$ using a potentiometer,the resistance drawn from the resistance box is $R$. The potential difference across the balancing length of the wire is equal to the terminal potential difference $(V)$ of the cell. The value of the internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell is:

To measure the internal resistance of a battery,a potentiometer is used. For $R = 10 \ \Omega$,the balance point is observed at $\ell = 500 \ cm$ and for $R = 1 \ \Omega$,the balance point is observed at $\ell = 400 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the battery is approximately: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ $10 \,m$ long potentiometer wire is connected to a battery having a steady voltage. $A$ Leclanche cell is balanced at $4 \,m$ length of the wire. If the length is kept the same,but its cross-section is doubled,the null point will be obtained at ........... $m$.

$A$ potentiometer circuit is set up as shown. The potential gradient across the potentiometer wire is $k \, V/cm$ and the ammeter present in the circuit reads $1.0 \, A$ when the two-way key is switched off. The balance points,when the key between the terminals $(i)$ $1$ and $2$ and $(ii)$ $1$ and $3$ is plugged in,are found to be at lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ respectively.
