In the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).

$A$ voltmeter reads the potential difference across the terminals of an old battery as $1.2 \, V$,while a potentiometer reads $1.4 \, V$. The internal resistance of the battery is $40 \, \Omega$. What is the resistance of the voltmeter in $\Omega$?

In the given potentiometer circuit,the balancing length for points $B$ and $C$ is $40 \, cm$. What is the balancing length for points $C$ and $D$ in $cm$?

$A$ $10 \, m$ long wire of resistance $20 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with a battery of e.m.f. $3 \, V$ (negligible internal resistance) and a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$. The potential gradient along the wire is (in $ \, V/m$)

In the given figure,there is a circuit of a potentiometer of length $AB = 10 \, m$. The resistance per unit length is $0.1 \, \Omega/cm$. $A$ battery of $6 \, V$ and an internal resistance of $20 \, \Omega$ is connected across $AB$. The maximum value of emf that can be measured by this potentiometer is (in $V$):
