The length of a potentiometer wire is $l$. $A$ cell of $emf$ $E$ is balanced at a length $l/3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $l/2$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

  • A
    $2l/3$
  • B
    $l/2$
  • C
    $l/6$
  • D
    $4l/3$

To compare the $EMF$ of two cells using a potentiometer, the balancing lengths obtained are $200 \ cm$ and $150 \ cm$. The least count of the scale is $1 \ cm$. The percentage error in the ratio of the EMFs is . . . . . . .

$A$ potentiometer wire $PQ$ of $1\,m$ length is connected to a standard cell $E_{1}$. Another cell $E_{2}$ of emf $1.02\,V$ is connected with a resistance $r$ and switch $S$ (as shown in figure). With switch $S$ open,the null position is obtained at a distance of $49\,cm$ from $Q$. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is.......$V/cm$.

$A$ cell balances against a length of $150 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when it is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$. But when it is shunted by a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$,then the balancing length increases by $25 \ cm$. The balancing length when the cell is in an open circuit is: (in $cm$)
