In a potentiometer arrangement,$E_1$ is the cell establishing the current in the primary circuit,$E_2$ is the cell to be measured,$AB$ is the potentiometer wire,and $G$ is a galvanometer. Which of the following are the essential conditions for a balance point to be obtained?

The potentiometer wire is $5 \ m$ long and a potential difference of $4 \ V$ is maintained between the ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $200 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $V$)

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

If the length of a potentiometer wire is increased,then the length of the previously obtained balance point will
