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 $V$):

In a potentiometer of $10$ wires,the balance point is obtained on the $6^{\text{th}}$ wire. To shift the balance point to the $8^{\text{th}}$ wire,we should:

The potentiometer wire is $5 \ m$ long and a potential difference of $4 \ V$ is maintained between the ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $200 \ cm$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $V$)

The length of a potentiometer wire is $1200 \; cm$ and it carries a current of $60 \; mA$. For a cell of $emf \; 5 \; V$ and internal resistance of $20 \; \Omega$,the null point on it is found to be at $1000 \; cm$. The resistance of the whole wire is .............. $\Omega$.

$A$ $10 \, m$ 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$)
