To determine the internal resistance of a cell with a potentiometer,when the cell is shunted by a resistance of $5 \Omega$,the balancing length is $250 \ cm$. When the cell is shunted by $20 \Omega$,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $400 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ battery of $emf$ $E_0 = 12\, V$ is connected across a $4\,m$ long uniform wire having resistance $4\,\Omega /m$. The cells of small $emfs$ $\varepsilon_1 = 2\,V$ and $\varepsilon_2 = 4\,V$ having internal resistance $2\,\Omega$ and $6\,\Omega$ respectively,are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. If the galvanometer shows no deflection at point $N$,the distance of point $N$ from point $A$ is equal to:

$A$ cell,shunted by an $8 \; \Omega$ resistance,is balanced across a potentiometer wire of length $3 \; m$. The balancing length is $2 \; m$ when the cell is shunted by a $4 \; \Omega$ resistance. The value of internal resistance of the cell will be $\dots \; \Omega$.

If the length of a potentiometer wire is increased,then the length of the previously obtained balance point will

In the experiment to determine the internal resistance $(r)$ of a cell $(E_1)$ using a potentiometer,the resistance drawn from the resistance box is $R$. The potential difference across the balancing length of the wire is equal to the terminal potential difference $(V)$ of the cell. The value of the internal resistance $(r)$ of the cell is:
