The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{4}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the original wire is increased by $\frac{L}{3}$,then using the same cell,the null point is obtained at:

  • A
    $\frac{L}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3L}{4}$

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length with a cell is $240 \ cm$. On shunting the cell with a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$,the balancing length becomes $120 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is ................. $\Omega$.

The balancing length for a cell is $560 \; cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \; \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length changes by $60 \; cm$. If the internal resistance of the cell is $\frac{N}{10} \; \Omega$,where $N$ is an integer,then the value of $N$ is:

As shown in the figure,a potentiometer wire of resistance $20\,\Omega$ and length $300\,cm$ is connected with a resistance box ($R$.$B$.) and a standard cell of emf $4\,V$.
