If the resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $\rho$ and the area of cross-section is $A$,then what will be the potential gradient along the wire,given that a current $I$ flows through it?

In the circuit shown, a four-wire potentiometer is made of a $400\, cm$ long wire, which extends between $A$ and $B$. The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is $r = 0.01\, \Omega /cm$. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey $J$ at $50\, cm$ from end $A$, the expected reading of the voltmeter will be: ............... $V$

$A$ 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

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell gives a balancing point at $75 \, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of unknown emf. If the ratio of the emf's of two cells respectively is $3:2$,the difference in the balancing length of the potentiometer wire in above two cases will be ......... $cm$.
