$A$ 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:

$A$ $10 \, m$ long wire of $20 \, \Omega$ resistance is connected with a battery of $3 \, V$ $e.m.f.$ (negligible internal resistance) and a $10 \, \Omega$ resistance is joined to it in series. The potential gradient along the wire in $V/m$ is:

$A$ wire of length $100\, cm$ is connected to a cell of emf $2\, V$ and negligible internal resistance. The resistance of the wire is $3\, \Omega$. The additional resistance required to produce a potential difference of $1\, mV/cm$ is ............. $\Omega$.

In a potentiometer of $10$ wires,the balance point is obtained on the $6^{\text{th}}$ wire. To shift the balance point to the $8^{\text{th}}$ wire,we should:

In a potentiometer experiment, a cell of emf $1.25 \,V$ gives a balancing length of $30 \,cm$. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balancing length is found to be $40 \,cm$. What is the emf of the second cell?

The figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of $2.0 \; V$ and internal resistance $0.40 \; \Omega$ maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire $AB$. $A$ standard cell which maintains a constant $emf$ of $1.02 \; V$ (for very moderate currents up to a few $mA$) gives a balance point at $67.3 \; cm$ length of the wire. To ensure very low currents are drawn from the standard cell,a very high resistance of $600 \; k \Omega$ is put in series with it,which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and the balance point found similarly,turns out to be at $82.3 \; cm$ length of the wire.
$(a)$ What is the value of $\varepsilon ?$
$(b)$ What purpose does the high resistance of $600 \; k \Omega$ have?
$(c)$ Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?
$(d)$ Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an $emf$ of $1.0 \; V$ instead of $2.0 \; V ?$
$(e)$ Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small $emf$,say of the order of a few $mV$ (such as the typical $emf$ of a thermocouple)? If not,how will you modify the circuit?
