$A$ 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 $mA$):

In the experiment of a potentiometer,at balance,there is no current in the

$A$ potentiometer is used to measure the potential difference between $A$ and $B$,and the null point is obtained at $0.9 \ m$. Now,the potential difference between $A$ and $C$ is measured,and the null point is obtained at $0.3 \ m$. Find the ratio $\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}}$,given that $E_{1} > E_{2}$.

Two cells having unknown e.m.f.s $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ $(E_{1} > E_{2})$ are connected in a potentiometer circuit so as to assist each other. The null point is obtained at $490 \ cm$ from the higher potential end. When cell $E_{2}$ is connected so as to oppose cell $E_{1}$,the null point is obtained at $90 \ cm$ from the same end. The ratio of the e.m.f.s of the two cells $(\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}})$ is:

The adjoining figure shows the connections of a potentiometer experiment to determine the internal resistance of a Leclanché cell. When the cell is on open circuit,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.4 \, m$,and on closing the key $K_2$,the balancing length becomes $1.7 \, m$. If the resistance $R$ through which current is drawn is $10 \, \Omega$,then the internal resistance of the cell is .............. $\Omega$.
