In a potentiometer, the null point is received at the $7^{th}$ wire. If we now want to shift the null point to the $9^{th}$ wire, what should we do?

  • A
    Increase resistance in series with the applied $EMF$
  • B
    Increase resistance in the main circuit
  • C
    Decrease resistance in the main circuit
  • D
    Decrease the applied $EMF$

Two cells $A$ and $B$ are connected in the secondary circuit of a potentiometer one at a time and the balancing lengths are respectively $360 \ cm$ and $420 \ cm$. If the emf of $A$ is $2.4 \ V$,the emf of the second cell $B$ is (in $V$)

For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$,a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega$ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire,then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.

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

In the figure,the potentiometer wire of length $l = 100 \, cm$ and resistance $R = 9 \, \Omega$ is joined to a cell of emf $E_1 = 10 \, V$ and internal resistance $r_1 = 1 \, \Omega$. Another cell of emf $E_2 = 5 \, V$ and internal resistance $r_2 = 2 \, \Omega$ is connected as shown. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AC$ is ............... $cm$.
