$A$ thermocouple of negligible resistance produces an $e.m.f.$ of $40\,\mu V/^{\circ}C$ in the linear range of temperature. $A$ galvanometer of resistance $10\,\Omega$ whose sensitivity is $1\,\mu A/\text{div}$ is employed with the thermocouple. The smallest value of temperature difference that can be detected by the system will be (in $^{\circ}C$)

$A$ 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:

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 ................. $V$.

Two cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When a potentiometer is connected between points $A$ and $B$, the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $412 \text{ cm}$. When the same potentiometer is connected between points $A$ and $C$, the balancing length is $103 \text{ cm}$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ is:

The adjoining figure shows the connections of a potentiometer experiment to determine the internal resistance of a Leclanché cell. When the cell is on open circuit,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.4 \, m$,and on closing the key $K_2$,the balancing length becomes $1.7 \, m$. If the resistance $R$ through which current is drawn is $10 \, \Omega$,then the internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.
