The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{4}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the original wire is increased by $\frac{L}{3}$,then using the same cell,the null point is obtained at:

  • A
    $\frac{L}{4}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{L}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{3L}{4}$

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)

$A$ battery of internal resistance $1 \, \Omega$ and $emf$ $3 \, V$ sends a current through $1 \, m$ of uniform wire of resistance $5 \, \Omega$. The poles of a cell of $emf$ $1.4 \, V$ are connected to two points on the wire such that no current passes through this cell. The potential gradient of the wire is:

Two cells of e.m.f.s $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When the potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.60 \ m$. On connecting the potentiometer between $A$ and $C$,the balancing length is $0.90 \ m$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

The potential gradient along the length of a uniform wire is $10\,V/m$. $B$ and $C$ are two points at $30\,cm$ and $60\,cm$ on a meter scale fitted along the wire. The potential difference between $B$ and $C$ will be ............. $V$.

$A$ null point is obtained at $200 \ cm$ on a potentiometer wire when a cell in the secondary circuit is shunted by $5 \ \Omega$. When a resistance of $15 \ \Omega$ is used for shunting,the null point moves to $300 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)
