$A$ null point is obtained at $200 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when a cell in the secondary circuit is shunted by $5 \ \Omega$. When a resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is used for shunting,the null point moves to $300 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $Omega$)

$A$ potentiometer has a uniform potential gradient across it. Two cells connected in series $(i)$ to support each other and $(ii)$ to oppose each other are balanced over $6 \ m$ and $2 \ m$ respectively on the potentiometer wire. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$s of the cells is:

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of $emf$ $1.25\; V$ gives a balance point at $35.0\; cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $63.0\; cm ,$ what is the $emf$ of the second cell in $V$?

In the circuit shown, a four-wire potentiometer is made of a $400\, cm$ long wire, which extends between $A$ and $B$. The resistance per unit length of the potentiometer wire is $r = 0.01\, \Omega /cm$. If an ideal voltmeter is connected as shown with jockey $J$ at $50\, cm$ from end $A$, the expected reading of the voltmeter will be: ............... $V$

The $e.m.f.$ of a standard cell balances across $150 \ cm$ length of a potentiometer wire. When a resistance of $2 \ \Omega$ is connected as a shunt across the cell,the balance point is obtained at $100 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.
