In the given circuit of a potentiometer,the potential difference $E$ across $AB$ ($10\, m$ length) is larger than $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ as well. For key $K_{1}$ (closed),the jockey is adjusted to touch the wire at point $J_{1}$ so that there is no deflection in the galvanometer. Now,the first battery $(E_{1})$ is replaced by the second battery $(E_{2})$ for working by making $K_{1}$ open and $K_{2}$ closed. The galvanometer then gives null deflection at $J_{2}$. The value of $\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}$ is $\frac{a}{b}$,where $a = \dots$ (Refer to the image for balancing lengths $l_{1}$ and $l_{2}$ from point $A$).

The wire of a potentiometer has a resistance of $4 \Omega$ and a length of $1 \ m$. It is connected to a cell of emf $2 \ V$ and internal resistance $1 \Omega$. The current flowing through the potentiometer wire is: (in $A$)

$A$ battery of emf $10 \, V$ is connected to a uniform wire $AB$ of $1 \, m$ length and having a resistance of $10 \, \Omega$ in series with a $10 \, \Omega$ resistor as shown in the figure. Two cells of emf $2 \, V$ each, having internal resistance $2 \, \Omega$ each, are connected in parallel as shown in the figure. If the galvanometer shows null deflection at point $J$ on the wire, then the distance of point $J$ from the point $B$ is. (in $ \, cm$)

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $4 \, m$ and resistance $5 \, \Omega$ is connected in series with a resistance of $992 \, \Omega$ and a cell of e.m.f. $4 \, V$ with internal resistance $3 \, \Omega$. The length of $0.75 \, m$ on the potentiometer wire balances the e.m.f. of (in $ \, mV$)

$A$ cell in the secondary circuit gives a null deflection for $2.5 \,m$ length of a potentiometer wire having a total length of $10 \,m$. If the length of the potentiometer wire is increased by $1 \,m$ without changing the cell in the primary circuit, the new position of the null point is: (in $m$)
