$A$ resistance of $4\,\Omega$ and a wire of length $5\,m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega$ are joined in series and connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $10\,V$ and internal resistance $1\,\Omega$. $A$ parallel combination of two identical cells is balanced across $300\,cm$ of the wire. The $e.m.f.$ $E$ of each cell is ........... $V$.

In a potentiometer, when the cell in the secondary circuit is shunted with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance, the balance is obtained at a length of $120 \ cm$ of the wire. Now, when the same cell is shunted with a $12 \ \Omega$ resistance, the balance point shifts to a length of $180 \ cm$. 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 $60 \, cm$. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms, is

$A$ $10 \,m$ long potentiometer wire is connected to a battery having a steady voltage. $A$ Leclanche cell is balanced at $4 \,m$ length of the wire. If the length is kept the same,but its cross-section is doubled,the null point will be obtained at ........... $m$.
