When a cell of e.m.f. $E_1$ is connected to a potentiometer wire,the balancing length is $\ell_1$. Another cell of e.m.f. $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected such that the two cells oppose each other,and the balancing length is $\ell_2$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is:

The current in the primary circuit of a potentiometer is $0.2 \, A$. The specific resistance and cross-section of the potentiometer wire are $4 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and $8 \times 10^{-7} \, m^2$ respectively. The potential gradient will be equal to .............. $V/m$.

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of $emf$ $1.25\,V$ gives a balance point at $35.0\,cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $63.0\,cm,$ the $emf$ of the second cell is ............... $V$.

In a potentiometer, when the cell in the secondary circuit is shunted with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance, the balance is obtained at a length of $120 \ cm$ of the wire. Now, when the same cell is shunted with a $12 \ \Omega$ resistance, the balance point shifts to a length of $180 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is . . . . . . $\Omega$.

$A$ $10\,m$ long potentiometer wire has a potential gradient of $0.0025\,V/cm$. Calculate the distance of the null point when the wire is connected to a $1.025\,V$ standard cell.
