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?

In a potentiometer circuit, there is a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\, V$, a resistance of $5\, \Omega$ and a wire of uniform thickness of length $1000\, cm$ and resistance $15\, \Omega$. The potential gradient in the wire is:

$A$ 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 $m$)

It is preferable to measure the $e.m.f.$ of a cell by a potentiometer rather than by a voltmeter because of the following possible reasons.
$(i)$ In the case of a potentiometer,no current flows through the cell.
$(ii)$ The length of the potentiometer wire allows for greater precision.
$(iii)$ Measurement by the potentiometer is quicker.
$(iv)$ The sensitivity of the galvanometer,when using a potentiometer,is not relevant.
Which of these reasons are correct?

When two cells are connected in series in a potentiometer circuit to assist each other,the balancing length is $6 \ m$. When they are connected in series to oppose each other,the balancing length is $2 \ m$. What is the ratio of the $EMF$ of the two cells?

The given figure represents an arrangement of a potentiometer for the calculation of the internal resistance $(r)$ of an unknown battery $(E)$. The balance length is $70.0 \, cm$ with the key open and $60.0 \, cm$ with the key closed. $R$ is $132.40 \, \Omega$. The internal resistance $(r)$ of the unknown cell will be ....... $\Omega$ (Given $E_o > E$):-
