$A$ battery of internal resistance $1 \, \Omega$ and $emf$ $3 \, V$ sends a current through $1 \, m$ of uniform wire of resistance $5 \, \Omega$. The poles of a cell of $emf$ $1.4 \, V$ are connected to two points on the wire such that no current passes through this cell. The potential gradient of the wire is:

  • A
    $2.5 \, V$
  • B
    $2.5 \, V/m$
  • C
    $3 \, V/m$
  • D
    $1.5 \, V/m$

$A$ $2\,V$ battery,a $15\,\Omega$ resistor,and a potentiometer of $100\,cm$ length are all connected in series. If the resistance of the potentiometer wire is $5\,\Omega$,then the potential gradient of the potentiometer wire is ............... $V/cm$.

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $Omega$)?

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $4 \ m$ and a resistance of $10 \ \Omega$. It is connected to a cell of $2 \ V$ emf. The potential gradient (potential difference per unit length) of the wire is: (in $V/m$)

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{5}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,the same cell will give a balance point at distance $x$. The value of $x$ is

Two cells $A$ and $B$ are connected in the secondary circuit of a potentiometer one at a time and the balancing lengths are respectively $360 \ cm$ and $420 \ cm$. If the emf of $A$ is $2.4 \ V$,the emf of the second cell $B$ is (in $V$)
