The material of the wire of a potentiometer is

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $4 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with a resistance of $992 \, \Omega$ and a cell of e.m.f. $4 \, V$ with internal resistance $3 \, \Omega$. The length of $0.75 \, m$ on the potentiometer wire balances the e.m.f. of (in $ \, mV$)

In a potentiometer of $10$ wires,the balance point is obtained on the $6^{\text{th}}$ wire. To shift the balance point to the $8^{\text{th}}$ wire,we should:

The figure shows a $2.0 \; V$ potentiometer used for the determination of internal resistance of a $1.5 \; V$ cell. The balance point of the cell in open circuit is $76.3 \; cm$. When a resistor of $9.5 \; \Omega$ is used in the external circuit of the cell,the balance point shifts to $64.8 \; cm$ length of the potentiometer wire. Determine the internal resistance (in $\Omega$) of the cell.

In the experiment of calibration of a voltmeter,a standard cell of $e.m.f. = 1.1 \text{ V}$ is balanced against $440 \text{ cm}$ of a potentiometer wire. The potential difference across a resistance is found to balance against $220 \text{ cm}$ of the wire. The corresponding reading of the voltmeter is $0.5 \text{ V}$. The error in the reading of the voltmeter will be ................. $V$.
