$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient. The specific resistance (resistivity) of the material of the potentiometer wire is $10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$, the current passing through it is $0.1 \, A$, and the cross-sectional area of the wire is $10^{-6} \, m^2$. The potential gradient along the potentiometer wire is:

In the arrangement shown in the figure,when the switch $S_2$ is open,the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = L/2$. When the switch $S_2$ is closed,the galvanometer shows no deflection for $l = 5L/12$. The internal resistance $(r)$ of the $6\, V$ cell and the $emf$ $E$ of the other battery are respectively:

In the given potentiometer circuit,the resistance of the potentiometer wire $AB$ is $R_0$. $C$ is a cell of internal resistance $r$. The galvanometer $G$ does not give zero deflection for any position of the jockey $J$. Which of the following cannot be a reason for this?

$A$ 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 $cm$)
