$A$ potentiometer wire $PQ$ of $1\,m$ length is connected to a standard cell $E_{1}$. Another cell $E_{2}$ of emf $1.02\,V$ is connected with a resistance $r$ and switch $S$ (as shown in figure). With switch $S$ open,the null position is obtained at a distance of $49\,cm$ from $Q$. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is.......$V/cm$.

$A$ resistance of $R \; \Omega$ draws current from a potentiometer. The potentiometer has a total resistance $R_{0} \; \Omega$ (Figure). $A$ voltage $V$ is supplied to the potentiometer. Derive an expression for the voltage across $R$ when the sliding contact is in the middle of the potentiometer.

In a potentiometer experiment,a wire of length $10 \ m$ and resistance $5 \ \Omega$ is connected to a cell of emf $2.2 \ V$. If the potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $660 \ cm$ on the potentiometer wire is $1.1 \ V$,then the internal resistance of the cell is: (in $Omega$)

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:

$A$ potentiometer wire is $100 \, cm$ long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite direction. The balance points are obtained at $50 \, cm$ and $10 \, cm$ from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of emfs is:

The length of a potentiometer wire is $4 \,m$ and is connected in series with an accumulator. The e.m.f. of a cell balances against $1.5 \,m$ length of the wire. If the length of the potentiometer wire is doubled,then the new balancing length of the wire will be: (in $\,m$)
