$A$ potentiometer wire has length $4\, m$ and resistance $8\, \Omega$. The resistance that must be connected in series with the wire and an accumulator of e.m.f. $2\, V$,so as to get a potential gradient of $1\, mV$ per $cm$ on the wire is ............. $\Omega$.

$A$ potentiometer wire has length $10\, m$ and resistance $20\,\Omega$. $A$ $2.5\, V$ battery of negligible internal resistance is connected across the wire with an $80\,\Omega$ series resistance. The potential gradient on the wire will be

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter because

To measure the internal resistance of a battery,a potentiometer is used. For $R = 10 \ \Omega$,the balance point is observed at $\ell = 500 \ cm$ and for $R = 1 \ \Omega$,the balance point is observed at $\ell = 400 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the battery is approximately: (in $Omega$)

For comparing the $e.m.f.$'s of two cells with a potentiometer,a standard cell is used to develop a potential gradient along the wires. Which of the following possibilities would make the experiment unsuccessful?

The current in the primary circuit of a potentiometer is $0.2 \, A$. The specific resistance and cross-section of the potentiometer wire are $4 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and $8 \times 10^{-7} \, m^2$ respectively. The potential gradient will be equal to .............. $V/m$.
