$A$ battery of $6\,V$ is connected to the terminals of a $3\,m$ long wire of uniform thickness and resistance of the order of $100\,\Omega$. The difference of potential between two points separated by $50\,cm$ on the wire will be .......... $V$.

$A$ potentiometer wire has a length of $5 \, m$ and a resistance of $16 \, \Omega$. The driving cell has an e.m.f. of $5 \, V$ and an internal resistance of $4 \, \Omega$. When two cells of e.m.f.s $1.3 \, V$ and $1.1 \, V$ are connected so as to assist each other and then oppose each other, the balancing lengths are respectively:

In a potentiometer experiment, a cell of emf $1.25 \,V$ gives a balancing length of $30 \,cm$. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balancing length is found to be $40 \,cm$. What is the emf of the second cell?

The figure shows a potentiometer wire $AB$ having a resistance of $5 \text{ } \Omega$ and a length of $10 \text{ m}$. The e.m.f. of the battery in the primary circuit is $5 \text{ V}$ and the external resistance is $45 \text{ } \Omega$. If the e.m.f. of the cell in the secondary circuit is $0.4 \text{ V}$, find the balancing length $AP$. (Internal resistance is negligible) (in $\text{ m}$)

In the determination of the internal resistance of a cell with a potentiometer,the error in the measurement of the balancing length is $\pm 1 \text{ mm}$. When the cell alone is connected in the circuit,the balancing length is obtained at $60 \text{ cm}$ and when the cell is shunted with a resistance of $10 \Omega \pm 2 \%$,the balancing length is obtained at $50 \text{ cm}$. The error in the determination of the internal resistance of the cell is (in $\%$)
