Resistance of a potentiometer wire is $2 \ \Omega/m$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $1.5 \ V$ balances at $300 \ cm$. The current through the wire is (in $mA$)

$A$ 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 ............... $\Omega$.

The balancing length for a cell is $560 \, cm$ in a potentiometer experiment. When an external resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ is connected in parallel to the cell, the balancing length changes by $60 \, cm$. The internal resistance of the cell in ohms, is

In an experiment of a potentiometer for measuring the internal resistance of a primary cell,a balancing length $\ell$ is obtained on the potentiometer wire when the cell is in an open circuit. Now,the cell is short-circuited by a resistance $R$. If $R$ is equal to the internal resistance of the cell,the balancing length on the potentiometer wire will be:

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:
