To determine the internal resistance of a cell by using a potentiometer, the null point is at $1 \, m$ when the cell is shunted by $3 \, \Omega$ resistance and at a length $1.5 \, m$ when the cell is shunted by $6 \, \Omega$ resistance. The internal resistance of the cell is:

The wire of a potentiometer has a resistance of $4 \Omega$ and a length of $1 \ m$. It is connected to a cell of emf $2 \ V$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$. The current flowing through the potentiometer wire is: (in $A$)

In potentiometer experiments,two cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ are connected in series $(E_1 > E_2)$,the balancing length is $64 \ cm$ of the wire. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $32 \ cm$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

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:
