As shown in the figure,a potentiometer wire of resistance $20\,\Omega$ and length $300\,cm$ is connected with a resistance box ($R$.$B$.) and a standard cell of emf $4\,V$. For a resistance '$R$' of the resistance box introduced into the circuit,the null point for a cell of $20\,mV$ is found to be $60\,cm$. The value of '$R$' is $.....\Omega$

$A$ potentiometer is an ideal device for measuring potential difference because

$A$ $2.5 \ V$ battery is connected to a potentiometer wire. $A$ cell of e.m.f. $1.08 \ V$ is balanced by the voltage drop across $2.16 \ m$ of wire. The length of the potentiometer wire is (in $m$)

$A$ circuit for the measurement of resistance by a potentiometer is shown. The galvanometer is first connected at point $A$ and zero deflection is observed at a length $PJ = 10 \ cm$. In the second case,it is connected at point $C$ and zero deflection is observed at a length of $30 \ cm$ from $P$. Then the unknown resistance $X$ is:
