$A$ circuit for the measurement of resistance by a potentiometer is shown. The galvanometer is first connected at point $A$ and zero deflection is observed at a length $PJ = 10 \ cm$. In the second case,it is connected at point $C$ and zero deflection is observed at a length of $30 \ cm$ from $P$. Then the unknown resistance $X$ is:

In a potentiometer experiment,the null point is obtained on the $7^{\text{th}}$ wire for a given cell. To shift the null point to the $9^{\text{th}}$ wire for the same cell,what should we do?

In a potentiometer experiment, the balancing length with a cell is $560 \, cm$. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. Find the internal resistance of the cell.

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $4 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with a resistance of $992 \, \Omega$ and a cell of e.m.f. $4 \, V$ with internal resistance $3 \, \Omega$. The length of $0.75 \, m$ on the potentiometer wire balances the e.m.f. of (in $ \, mV$)

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?
