In a potentiometer experiment,it is found that no current passes through the galvanometer when the terminals of the cell are connected across $52 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a resistance of $5 \ \Omega$,a balance is found when the cell is connected across $40 \ cm$ of the wire. Find the internal resistance of the cell ........... $\Omega$.

The length of a potentiometer wire is $\ell$. $A$ cell of emf $E$ is balanced at a length $\ell/3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\ell/2$,at what distance will the same cell give a balanced point?

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $5 \, m$ and a resistance of $16 \, \Omega$. The driving cell has an e.m.f. of $5 \, V$ and an internal resistance of $4 \, \Omega$. When two cells of e.m.f.s $1.3 \, V$ and $1.1 \, V$ are connected so as to assist each other and then oppose each other, the balancing lengths are respectively:
