In a potentiometer experiment, the null point is obtained at a particular point for a cell on a potentiometer wire of length $L$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:

$A$ potentiometer $PQ$ is set up to compare two resistances as shown in the figure. The ammeter $A$ in the circuit reads $1.0\, A$ when the two-way key $K_3$ is open. The balance point is at a length $l_1\, cm$ from $P$ when the two-way key $K_3$ is plugged in between $2$ and $1$,while the balance point is at a length $l_2\, cm$ from $P$ when key $K_3$ is plugged in between $3$ and $1$. The ratio of two resistances $\frac{R_1}{R_2}$ is found to be

$A$ 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 ........... $V$.

$A$ potentiometer wire has length $L$. For a given cell of emf $E$,the balancing length is $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $50 \%$,then for the same cell,the balance point is obtained at length

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $100 \ cm$ and is connected to a cell of $emf \ E$. It is used to measure the $emf \ E_0$ of a battery with an internal resistance of $0.5 \ \Omega$. If the balance point is obtained at a distance of $\ell = 30 \ cm$ from the positive terminal,the $emf \ E_0$ of the battery is:
