Two cells of e.m.f.s $E_1$ and $E_2$ $(E_1 > E_2)$ are connected as shown in the figure. When the potentiometer is connected between $A$ and $B$,the balancing length of the potentiometer wire is $3.60 \ m$. On connecting the potentiometer between $A$ and $C$,the balancing length is $0.90 \ m$. The ratio $E_1 / E_2$ is

While doing an experiment with a potentiometer as shown in the figure,it was found that the deflection is one-sided and $(i)$ the deflection decreased while moving the jockey from one end $A$ of the wire to the end $B$; $(ii)$ the deflection increased while the jockey was moved towards the end $B$.
$(i)$ Which terminal ($+$ or $-ve$) of the cell $E_1$ is connected at $X$ in case $(i)$ and how is $E_1$ related to $E$?

In a potentiometer arrangement,a cell of emf $1.5 \ V$ gives a balance point at $150 \ cm$ length of the wire. If the cell is replaced by another cell and the balance point shifts to $210 \ cm$,what is the emf of the second cell (in $V$)?

The potential difference across the ends of a potentiometer wire is constant. Two cells are connected in such a way that they first assist each other and then oppose each other. They are balanced on the potentiometer wire at lengths of $120 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. The ratio of the electromotive forces $(EMF)$ of the cells is:

$A$ cell is connected to a potentiometer,and the balancing length is obtained at $125 \ cm$. When a resistor of $2 \ \Omega$ is connected in parallel with the cell,the balancing length is obtained at $100 \ cm$. What is the internal resistance of the cell in $\Omega$?
