In a potentiometer experiment, the null point is obtained at a particular point for a cell on a potentiometer wire of length $L$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:

  • A
    increase
  • B
    decrease
  • C
    not change
  • D
    becomes zero

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of emf $1.5 \ V$ gives a balance point at $150 \ cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $210 \ cm$,what is the emf of the second cell (in $V$)?

With the help of a potentiometer,we can determine the value of the emf of a given cell. The sensitivity of the potentiometer is:
$(A)$ directly proportional to the length of the potentiometer wire
$(B)$ directly proportional to the potential gradient of the wire
$(C)$ inversely proportional to the potential gradient of the wire
$(D)$ inversely proportional to the length of the potentiometer wire
Choose the correct option for the above statements:

In the given arrangement,$E_1 = 5 \, V$ and $E_2 = 7 \, V$. The balancing length is $6 \, m$. If the terminals of $E_2$ are reversed,then the new balancing length will be:

$A$ resistance of $4\,\Omega$ and a wire of length $5\,m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega$ are joined in series and connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $10\,V$ and internal resistance $1\,\Omega$. $A$ parallel combination of two identical cells is balanced across $300\,cm$ of the wire. The $e.m.f.$ $E$ of each cell is ........... $V$.

$A$ $6\,V$ battery is connected to the terminals of a $3\,m$ long uniform wire having resistance $100\,\Omega$. The difference in potential between two points on the wire separated by a distance of $50\,cm$ will be ............. $V$.
