(B) Let the resistance of the potentiometer wire be $R_w = 10 \, \Omega$ and its length be $L = 100 \, cm = 1 \, m$.The total resistance in the primary circuit is $R_{total} = R + R_w = R + 10$.The current in the primary circuit is $I = \frac{V}{R + R_w} = \frac{2}{R + 10}$.The potential drop across the potentiometer wire is $V_w = I 	imes R_w = \frac{2 	imes 10}{R + 10} = \frac{20}{R + 10}$.The potential gradient $k$ is given by $k = \frac{V_w}{L} = \frac{20}{R + 10} 	imes \frac{1}{100} = \frac{0.2}{R + 10} \, V/cm$.The null point is obtained at $l = 40 \, cm$ for a source of $E = 10 \, mV = 10 	imes 10^{-3} \, V$.Using the principle of the potentiometer,$E = k 	imes l$.$10 	imes 10^{-3} = \left( \frac{0.2}{R + 10} ight) 	imes 40$.$0.01 = \frac{8}{R + 10}$.$R + 10 = \frac{8}{0.01} = 800$.$R = 800 - 10 = 790 \, \Omega$.

Resistance of $100 \, cm$ long potentiometer wire is $10 \, \Omega$. It is connected to a battery of $2 \, V$ and a resistance $R$ in series. $A$ source of $10 \, mV$ gives a null point at $40 \, cm$ length. The value of external resistance $R$ is ........... $\Omega$.

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{5}$ 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?

In the given arrangement,$E_1 = 5 \, V$ and $E_2 = 7 \, V$. The balancing length is $6 \, m$. If the terminals of $E_2$ are reversed,then the new balancing length will be:

In a potentiometer circuit, a cell of $EMF$ $1.5\, V$ gives a balance point at $36\, cm$ length of wire. If another cell of $EMF$ $2.5\, V$ replaces the first cell, then at what length of the wire will the balance point occur? (in $cm$)

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 .............. $\Omega$.
