$A$ potentiometer wire of length $100\, cm$ has a resistance of $10\, \Omega$. It is connected in series with a resistance $R$ and an accumulator of emf $2\, V$ and of negligible internal resistance. $A$ source of emf $10\, mV$ is balanced against a length of $40\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. What is the value of external resistance $R$?

$A$ potentiometer circuit has been set up for finding the internal resistance of a given cell. The main battery,used across the potentiometer wire,has an $EMF$ of $2.0\,V$ and a negligible internal resistance. The potentiometer wire itself is $4\,m$ long. When the resistance $R$,connected across the given cell,has values of $(i)$ infinity and $(ii)$ $9.5\,\Omega$,the balancing lengths on the potentiometer wire are found to be $3\,m$ and $2.85\,m$,respectively. The value of internal resistance of the cell is ............... $\Omega$.

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $\Omega$)?

For a cell of $e.m.f.$ $2\,V$,a balance is obtained for $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire. If the cell is shunted by a $2\,\Omega$ resistor and the balance is obtained across $40\, cm$ of the wire,then the internal resistance of the cell is ............. $\Omega$.

When two cells are connected in series in a potentiometer circuit to assist each other,the balancing length is $6 \ m$. When they are connected in series to oppose each other,the balancing length is $2 \ m$. What is the ratio of the $EMF$ of the two cells?
