$A$ 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 $Omega$)

In a potentiometer experiment,when three cells $A, B$ and $C$ are connected in series,the balancing length is found to be $420 \ cm$. If cells $A$ and $B$ are connected in series,the balancing length is $220 \ cm$ and for cells $B$ and $C$ connected in series,the balancing length is $320 \ cm$. The emf of cells $A, B$ and $C$ are respectively in the ratio of:

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 $60 \, cm$. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms, is
