The figure shows a $2.0 \; V$ potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of a $1.5 \; V$ cell. The balance point of the cell in open circuit is $76.3 \; cm$. When a resistor of $9.5 \; \Omega$ is used in the external circuit of the cell,the balance point shifts to $64.8 \; cm$ length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance (in $\Omega$) of the cell.

The resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $40 \times 10^{-8} \Omega \text{ m}$ and its area of cross-section is $8 \times 10^{-6} \text{ m}^2$. If $0.2 \text{ A}$ current is flowing through the wire, the potential gradient of the wire is:

For a cell,the balancing length is $0.60 \, m$. For another cell having an electromotive force $(emf)$ $0.1 \, V$ less than the first one,the balancing length is $0.55 \, m$. What are the $emf$ values of the two cells?

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of $emf$ $1.25\; V$ gives a balance point at $35.0\; cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $63.0\; cm ,$ what is the $emf$ of the second cell in $V$?

$A$ cell is connected to a potentiometer, and the balance point is obtained at a length of $2 \, m$. When a resistance of $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel with the cell, the balance point is obtained at a length of $3 \, m$. What is the internal resistance of the cell in $\Omega$?

While doing an experiment with a potentiometer as shown in the figure,it was found that the deflection is one-sided and $(i)$ the deflection decreased while moving the jockey from one end $A$ of the wire to the end $B$; $(ii)$ the deflection increased while the jockey was moved towards the end $B$.
