In the figure,the potentiometer wire $AB$ of length $L$ and resistance $9r$ is joined to the cell $D$ of $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and internal resistance $r$. The cell $C$'s $emf$ is $\frac{\varepsilon}{2}$ and its internal resistance is $2r$. The galvanometer $G$ will show no deflection when the length $AJ$ is

The length of a potentiometer wire is $L$. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $E$ is balanced at a length $\frac{L}{5}$ from the positive end of the wire. If the length of the wire is increased by $\frac{L}{2}$,the same cell will give a balance point at distance $x$. The value of $x$ is

The figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of $2.0 \; V$ and internal resistance $0.40 \; \Omega$ maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire $AB$. $A$ standard cell which maintains a constant $emf$ of $1.02 \; V$ (for very moderate currents up to a few $mA$) gives a balance point at $67.3 \; cm$ length of the wire. To ensure very low currents are drawn from the standard cell,a very high resistance of $600 \; k \Omega$ is put in series with it,which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown $emf$ $\varepsilon$ and the balance point found similarly,turns out to be at $82.3 \; cm$ length of the wire.
$(a)$ What is the value of $\varepsilon ?$
$(b)$ What purpose does the high resistance of $600 \; k \Omega$ have?
$(c)$ Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?
$(d)$ Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an $emf$ of $1.0 \; V$ instead of $2.0 \; V ?$
$(e)$ Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small $emf$,say of the order of a few $mV$ (such as the typical $emf$ of a thermocouple)? If not,how will you modify the circuit?

In a potentiometer experiment for the determination of the internal resistance of a cell,when an external resistance of $R$ is connected in parallel to the cell,the balancing length decreases by $10 \%$. The internal resistance of the cell is

In the following circuit, a $10 \, m$ long potentiometer wire with resistance $1.2 \, \Omega/m$, a resistance $R_1$, and an accumulator of $emf$ $2 \, V$ are connected in series. When the $emf$ of the thermocouple is $2.4 \, mV$, the deflection in the galvanometer is zero at a balancing length of $5 \, m$. The current supplied by the accumulator is:

In the potentiometer circuit as shown in the figure,the balance length $l = 60 \ cm$ when switch $S$ is open. When switch $S$ is closed and the value of $R$ is $5 \ \Omega$,the balance length $l' = 50 \ cm$. The internal resistance of the cell $C'$ is : .............. $\Omega$
