$A$ $6\,V$ battery is connected to the terminals of a $3\,m$ long uniform wire having resistance $100\,\Omega$. The difference in potential between two points on the wire separated by a distance of $50\,cm$ will be ............. $V$.

$A$ battery of emf $10 \, V$ is connected to a uniform wire $AB$ of $1 \, m$ length and having a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ in series with a $10 \, \Omega$ resistor as shown in the figure. Two cells of emf $2 \, V$ each, having internal resistance $2 \, \Omega$ each, are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. If the galvanometer shows null deflection at point $J$ on the wire, then the distance of point $J$ from the point $B$ is. (in $ \, cm$)

In the figure,the potentiometer wire of length $l = 100 \, cm$ and resistance $R = 9 \, \Omega$ is joined to a cell of emf $E_1 = 10 \, V$ and internal resistance $r_1 = 1 \, \Omega$. Another cell of emf $E_2 = 5 \, V$ and internal resistance $r_2 = 2 \, \Omega$ is connected as shown. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AC$ is ............... $cm$.

$A$ potentiometer wire is $100 \, cm$ long and a constant potential difference is maintained across it. Two cells are connected in series first to support one another and then in opposite direction. The balance points are obtained at $50 \, cm$ and $10 \, cm$ from the positive end of the wire in the two cases. The ratio of emfs is:
