The sliding contact of a potentiometer is in the middle of the potentiometer wire having a total resistance $R_p = 1 \Omega$,as shown in the figure. An external resistance of $R_e = 2 \Omega$ is connected via the sliding contact. Find the total current drawn from the $0.9 \text{ V}$ battery. (in $\text{ A}$)

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?

If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by keeping the potential difference across the wire constant,then:

$A$ wire,$10 \ m$ long,has a resistance of $40 \ \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance box of resistance $R$ and a $2 \ V$ storage cell. If the potential gradient along the wire is $0.1 \ mV/cm$,then the value of $R$ is (in $\Omega$)

Two cells,when connected in series,are balanced on $8 \; m$ on a potentiometer. If the cells are connected such that the polarity of one of the cells is reversed,they balance on $2 \; m$. The ratio of the $e.m.f.$'s of the two cells is:

Two cells having unknown e.m.f.s $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ $(E_{1} > E_{2})$ are connected in a potentiometer circuit so as to assist each other. The null point is obtained at $490 \ cm$ from the higher potential end. When cell $E_{2}$ is connected so as to oppose cell $E_{1}$,the null point is obtained at $90 \ cm$ from the same end. The ratio of the e.m.f.s of the two cells $(\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}})$ is:
