$A$ cell is connected to a potentiometer, and the balance point is obtained at a length of $2 \, m$. When a resistance of $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel with the cell, the balance point is obtained at a length of $3 \, m$. What is the internal resistance of the cell in $\Omega$?

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

In an experiment to find the $emf$ of a cell using a potentiometer,the length of the null point for a cell of $emf$ $1.5 \ V$ is found to be $60 \ cm$. If this cell is replaced by another cell of $emf$ $E$,the length of the null point increases by $40 \ cm$. The value of $E$ is $\frac{x}{10} \ V$. The value of $x$ is $............$

In a potentiometer experiment,the balancing length is $8 \ m$ when two cells $E_1$ and $E_2$ are joined in series. When two cells are connected in opposition,the balancing length is $4 \ m$. The ratio of the e.m.f. of the two cells $\left(\frac{E_1}{E_2}\right)$ is

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

For the measurement of potential difference,a potentiometer is preferred in comparison to a voltmeter because
