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:

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{3}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,at what distance will the same cell give a balance point?

The potentiometer is best for measuring voltage,as

Two cells of $e.m.f.$ $E_1$ and $E_2$ are joined in series and the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $625 \, cm$. If the terminals of $E_1$ are reversed,the balancing length obtained is $125 \, cm$. Given $E_2 > E_1$,the ratio $E_1 : E_2$ will be
