$A$ potentiometer is used to measure the potential difference between $A$ and $B$. The null point is obtained at $0.9 \ m$. Now,the potential difference between $A$ and $C$ is measured,and the null point is obtained at $0.3 \ m$. The ratio $\frac{E_2}{E_1}$ is $\left(E_1 > E_2\right)$.

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?

$A$ potentiometer wire $AB$ having length $L$ and resistance $12r$ is joined to a cell $D$ of $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$. $A$ cell $C$ having $emf$ $\varepsilon/2$ and internal resistance $3r$ is connected as shown in the figure. The length $AJ$ at which the galvanometer shows no deflection is

Write the advantages of a potentiometer.

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 $............$
