In the figure,the potentiometer wire of length $l = 100 \, cm$ and resistance $R = 9 \, \Omega$ is joined to a cell of emf $E_1 = 10 \, V$ and internal resistance $r_1 = 1 \, \Omega$. Another cell of emf $E_2 = 5 \, V$ and internal resistance $r_2 = 2 \, \Omega$ is connected as shown. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AC$ is ............... $cm$.

$A$ potentiometer wire of length $1 \ m$ is connected in series with $495 \ \Omega$ resistance and $2 \ V$ battery. If $0.2 \ mV/cm$ is the potential gradient,then the resistance of the potentiometer wire is: (in $\Omega$)

With a potentiometer,null points were obtained at $140 \, cm$ and $180 \, cm$ with cells of $emf$ $1.1 \, V$ and one unknown $X \, V$. The unknown $emf$ is .............. $V$.

For the measurement of potential difference,a potentiometer is preferred in comparison to a voltmeter because

$A$ potentiometer has a potential gradient of $2 \, mV/cm$. It is used to measure the potential difference across a $10 \, \Omega$ resistor. If the length of the potentiometer wire required to obtain the null point is $50 \, cm$,the current flowing through the $10 \, \Omega$ resistor is ............. $mA$.
