In a potentiometer circuit,a cell of $2\,V$ $e.m.f.$ and $5\,\Omega$ internal resistance is connected to a uniform wire of length $1000\,cm$ and resistance $15\,\Omega$. The potential gradient of the wire is:

  • A
    $1/500\,V/cm$
  • B
    $3/2000\,V/cm$
  • C
    $3/5000\,V/cm$
  • D
    $1/1000\,V/cm$

In a potentiometer,a wire of length $10 \ m$ having resistance $50 \ \Omega$ is used. $A$ battery of $5 \ V$ and a resistor of $450 \ \Omega$ are connected in series to the wire. If an unknown battery of emf $E$ balances the potentiometer at $450 \ cm$,then the value of $E$ is (in $V$)

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell gives a balancing point at $75 \, cm$ length of wire. This cell is now replaced by another cell of unknown emf. If the ratio of the emf's of two cells respectively is $3:2$,the difference in the balancing length of the potentiometer wire in above two cases will be ......... $cm$.

The length of a potentiometer wire is $1200 \; cm$ and it carries a current of $60 \; mA$. For a cell of $emf \; 5 \; V$ and internal resistance of $20 \; \Omega$,the null point on it is found to be at $1000 \; cm$. The resistance of the whole wire is .............. $\Omega$.

In a potentiometer experiment,cells of e.m.f. $E_1$ and $E_2$ are connected in series $(E_1 > E_2)$ and the balancing length is $80 \ cm$. If the polarity of $E_2$ is reversed,the balancing length becomes $20 \ cm$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is:
