The length of a potentiometer wire is $l$. $A$ cell of $emf$ $E$ is balanced at a length $l/3$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $l/2$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $1 \ m$ is connected in series with $495 \ \Omega$ resistance and $2 \ V$ battery. If $0.2 \ mV/cm$ is the potential gradient,then the resistance of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\Omega$)

In a potentiometer experiment, a 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 by a few centimeters without changing the cell or the driving source, the balancing length will:

The resistivity of a potentiometer wire is $40 \times 10^{-8} \, \Omega \cdot m$ and its area of cross-section is $8 \times 10^{-6} \, m^2$. If $0.2 \, A$ current is flowing through the wire,the potential gradient will be:

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 $\frac{L}{2}$,the same cell will give a balance point at distance $x$. The value of $x$ is
