The figure shows a simple potentiometer circuit for measuring a small $e.m.f.$ produced by a thermocouple. The potentiometer wire $PQ$ has a resistance of $5 \,\Omega$ and the driver cell has an $e.m.f.$ of $2 \, V$. If a balance point is obtained at $0.600 \, m$ along $PQ$ when measuring an $e.m.f.$ of $6.00 \, mV$,what is the value of resistance $R$ in $\Omega$?

$A$ cell in a 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 $m$)

$A$ potentiometer wire $PQ$ of $1\,m$ length is connected to a standard cell $E_{1}$. Another cell $E_{2}$ of emf $1.02\,V$ is connected with a resistance $r$ and switch $S$ (as shown in figure). With switch $S$ open,the null position is obtained at a distance of $49\,cm$ from $Q$. The potential gradient in the potentiometer wire is.......$V/cm$.

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?
