$A$ cell in a secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \ m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \ m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \ m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit,the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

  • A
    $3.5$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $2.75$
  • D

$A$ null point is obtained at $200 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when a cell in the secondary circuit is shunted by $5 \ \Omega$. When a resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is used for shunting,the null point moves to $300 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $Omega$)

Two cells having unknown e.m.f.s $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ $(E_{1} > E_{2})$ are connected in a potentiometer circuit so as to assist each other. The null point is obtained at $490 \ cm$ from the higher potential end. When cell $E_{2}$ is connected so as to oppose cell $E_{1}$,the null point is obtained at $90 \ cm$ from the same end. The ratio of the e.m.f.s of the two cells $(\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}})$ is:

$AB$ is a potentiometer wire as shown in the figure. If the value of $R$ is increased,in which direction will the balance point $J$ shift?

$A$ potentiometer $PQ$ is set up to compare two resistances as shown in the figure. The ammeter $A$ in the circuit reads $1.0\, A$ when the two-way key $K_3$ is open. The balance point is at a length $l_1\, cm$ from $P$ when the two-way key $K_3$ is plugged in between $2$ and $1$,while the balance point is at a length $l_2\, cm$ from $P$ when key $K_3$ is plugged in between $3$ and $1$. The ratio of two resistances $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is found to be

$A$ 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 $\left(E_1 > E_2\right)$.
