The area of cross-section of a potentiometer wire is $6 \times 10^{-7} \ m^2$. The potential difference per unit length of the potentiometer wire when it is connected to a cell of negligible internal resistance and a resistor in series is $0.15 \ Vm^{-1}$. If the current through the potentiometer wire is $0.3 \ A$,then the resistivity of the material of the potentiometer wire is:

Two cells of e.m.f.s $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When the potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.60 \ m$. On connecting the potentiometer between $A$ and $C$,the balancing length is $0.90 \ m$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

$A$ 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:

$A$ potentiometer consists of a wire of length $4\, m$ and resistance $10\,\Omega$. It is connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\, V$. The potential difference per unit length of the wire will be ............. $V/m$.
