$A$ potentiometer wire of length $1 \, m$ is connected in series with a $490 \, \Omega$ resistance and a $2 \, V$ battery. If the potential gradient is $0.2 \, mV/cm$,then the resistance of the potentiometer wire is ................ $\Omega$. (in $.9$)

In the following circuit, a $10 \, m$ long potentiometer wire with resistance $1.2 \, \Omega/m$, a resistance $R_1$, and an accumulator of $emf$ $2 \, V$ are connected in series. When the $emf$ of the thermocouple is $2.4 \, mV$, the deflection in the galvanometer is zero at a balancing length of $5 \, m$. The current supplied by the accumulator is:

$A$ thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V/^{\circ}C$ in the linear range of temperature. $A$ galvanometer of resistance $10\,\Omega$ whose sensitivity is $1\,\mu A/\text{div}$ is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be (in $^{\circ}C$)

$A$ $10 \,m$ long potentiometer wire is connected to a battery having a steady voltage. $A$ Leclanche cell is balanced at $4 \,m$ length of the wire. If the length is kept the same,but its cross-section is doubled,the null point will be obtained at ........... $m$.

For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$,a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega$ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire,then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.
