In a potentiometer experiment,a wire of length $10 \ m$ and resistance $5 \ \Omega$ is connected to a cell of emf $2.2 \ V$. If the potential difference between two points separated by a distance of $660 \ cm$ on the potentiometer wire is $1.1 \ V$,then the internal resistance of the cell is: (in $\Omega$)

$A$ potentiometer wire is $4 \text{ m}$ long and a potential difference of $3 \text{ V}$ is maintained between the ends. The e.m.f. of the cell which balances against a length of $100 \text{ cm}$ of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\text{ V}$)

$A$ potentiometer having a potential gradient of $2\, mV/cm$ is used to measure the potential difference across a resistance of $10\, \Omega$. If a length of $50\, cm$ of the potentiometer wire is required to obtain the null point,the current passing through the $10\, \Omega$ resistor is (in $mA$):

$A$ resistance of $4\,\Omega$ and a wire of length $5\,m$ and resistance $5\,\Omega$ are joined in series and connected to a cell of $e.m.f.$ $10\,V$ and internal resistance $1\,\Omega$. $A$ parallel combination of two identical cells is balanced across $300\,cm$ of the wire. The $e.m.f.$ $E$ of each cell is ........... $V$.

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter because
