When a cell of e.m.f. $E_1$ is connected to a potentiometer wire,the balancing length is $\ell_1$. Another cell of e.m.f. $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ is connected such that the two cells oppose each other,and the balancing length is $\ell_2$. The ratio $E_1 : E_2$ 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:
